At the beginning of the month, Mrs. Eberle's 4th grade class enjoyed a Traveling Trunk from The Tennessee State Museum. The trunk's theme was "The Life of a Civil War Soldier." Students had fun looking at replica artifacts from this time period. Pictured here are students dressed as Union soldiers.

The Sylvan Park Music website will now host all of your Related Arts classes for at-home fun and activities. New material will be added every Monday while school is out from Ms. Williams in Art, Mr. Burns in Music, Coach Scott in P.E. and Sra. Poole in Spanish. Each class will have engaging activities the whole family can enjoy. You will have opportunities to share your projects with the related arts teachers and possibly be featured on the website. In addition, Mr. Burns is requesting singalong videos and suggestions for reaction videos almost daily.

It is important for families to complete the 2020 Census Survey because information gathered impacts how much money schools receive in Title I funding. Children not counted in our district could negatively impact funding for the next 10 years. It is critical that as many households in Nashville as possible submit the forms.
|
|
Families are encouraged to fill out and submit the census information. The census can be submitted online, via phone, or mail. It is also crucial to note that information identifying individuals is not supposed to be shared with other government agencies.
