From Our Parents

IMG_9685 2.jpg
My name is Sarah, and I’m the Business Manager at the school. I moved to Silverton in August 2023, after my first visit just a month earlier. Silverton is an easy place to fall in love with, and a big reason for that is this incredible school community. My son and I went through a difficult family loss in 2022 and stayed in Texas for a year afterward. But when I visited Silverton, I was struck by the kindness and warmth of the people here, particularly within the school. It was my first time experiencing such a strong sense of community, and that made the decision to move states not only easy but exciting. The school is truly the heart of Silverton. The staff is passionate about teaching and learning, and they go out of their way to build meaningful connections with the families they serve. Watching my son and myself grow and thrive in this school community has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives.
