Welcome to Terrific Tuesdays & THURSDAYS: A Seahawk Lunch Buddies Mentorship Program!

We are excited to invite you to be a part of an extraordinary opportunity that combines play, healthy eating, and meaningful connections. 

The Terrific Tuesdays & Thursdays program, hosted by the Silver Lake Health & Wellbeing Team, is gearing up for a fantastic year.


About Terrific Tuesdays & THURSDAYS


Terrific Tuesdays & Thursdays is a mentorship program designed to create a vibrant, positive, and engaging school environment. 

By joining forces with Silver Lake's noon duty staff and Support Team, we aim to achieve the following objectives:


Joyful Recess: Ensure that all Seahawks experience fun and happiness during recess through a variety of playful activities and games.


Healthy Eating Habits: Encourage healthy eating habits by modeling nutritious meal choices in the cafeteria.


Positive Relationships: Build strong connections between students and community mentors, fostering a sense of belonging and support.


Physical Activity: Increase physical activity and movement during recess, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.


Behavioral Improvement: Decrease behavioral issues in both the cafeteria and on the playground, contributing to a more harmonious school environment.


How Terrific Tuesdays & THURSDAYS Work


Play: Inspired by PlayWorks, our recess activities encompass a range of options, from traditional sports like soccer, basketball, and football, to interactive tag games and engaging playground activities. Students and mentors have the freedom to choose activities they enjoy.


Eat: Mentors act as role models for healthy eating habits by consuming cafeteria meals alongside students. Demonstrating balanced eating choices has proven to positively influence students' dietary preferences.


Connect: Building positive relationships is a cornerstone of Terrific Tuesdays & Thursdays. Mentors engage in conversations, actively listen to students' stories, and share their own experiences, fostering a sense of connection and understanding.
