Honoring Volunteerism at Springer on May 28th

I was giving a tour to a prospective family the other day and I was asked the question about parent involvement at Springer.   Do parents get involved here?   My answer was an enthusiastic yes and I think I surprised the parent when I rattled off all of the things that parents, and others, do at Springer when they volunteer their time.

So many of you volunteer, in so many ways, that it’s impossible to encapsulate all the important work volunteers do across Springer in this small space.   But, a couple of key points need to be made here.  First, the parent volunteer component of our programs are key in giving our kids the very best experience possible.  One example is the library program at Springer.  Thanks to our dedicated library parent volunteers, a trip to the library for our students is made more efficient and richer. Secondly, and equally important, is the message our volunteers send to our students by simply being here and donating their time.  Our students see that volunteers care, that everyone has an important role, and that education is a shared effort where adults play an integral part.

Our staff is so appreciative of any and all volunteer efforts.  One small way we’d like to show you our appreciation is by asking you to attend our annual Volunteer Breakfast on May 28th  (look for the invite in your child’s Friday Folder, put in there lovingly by a parent volunteer).  We wish to honor you with a light breakfast in the multi at 8:15am followed by a school wide assembly at 8:45am.

Thank you for all you do!
