Greetings!
During the fall time, there is a crispness in the air, a sense of excitement here at Springer. We feel fortunate to work with so many wonderful students and families - at the day school and out in the community. In this issue we've focused on those community outreach efforts - how we are committed to creating awareness about learning disabilities while educating parents, teachers, and other professionals about the latest in learning strategies. You can help spread the word about Springer and learning disabilities by forwarding this message on to others in your email lists. Have a great October!
