Snow Day Information Update
Great News!!! As of February 28, 2020, Silex R-1 does not have to make up any snow days at this time. Enough hours were built into the calendar to compensate for the days missed thus far. However, please be advised if any additional hours or days are missed, we may be required to adjust the school calendar. Thank you.

Congratulations to Silex Owl Tommy Grote for making the MSHSAA record book for Free Throws Made in a Game. Tommy (Anthony) ranks 19th in the record book. On January 30, Tommy made 17 out of 19 free throws in a Bowling Green Tournament game against North Callway. "Tommy is a relentless worker that is always looking for areas to improve in his game. He has spent countless hours putting in the time for this accomplishment," commented Silex Owls Head Basketball Coach Aaron Henke.
