We are so impressed with the candle projects by our craft and pottery students. This two month project started with making pinch pots from clay then adding the underglaze and finishing with "sgraffito" carving technique to add designs to the candles. The longest part of the process was firing each pot in the kiln, applying clear glaze and refiring. Finally, students assembled the candle wick, wax and added a scent. Voìla! Their very own candles!

At Sylvan Hills High, it literally pays to be good! For the PBIS December Incentive, students entered drawings to stores across our community (Sonic, Subway, Taco Bell, Xbox, and more) and turned their good behavior into cash for games, food, and more! Thank you, PBIS, and Congratulations to all of the students who worked so hard this semester!
We had a suprise visitor on the Hillside today!
He sees when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake
