Greetings!
November. During this month of thanks, Springer School and Center is thankful for its dedicated staff and Trustees, the parents who care so deeply for their children's happiness, and the students who, everyday, work so hard at becoming the successful learners they always hoped they would be. Springer is thankful for all of the supporters who believe in the Springer mission and make it possible for us to continue to offer life-changing resources to hundreds of children, parents, and teachers. Thank you, everyone.

Springer Hosts Circles of Diversity Conference
 Approximately 70 middle school students and staff from Cincinnati
Country Day School, The Seven Hills School, The Summit Country Day School, and
Springer School and Center, joined together on November 12th to discuss diversity issues on
the Springer campus. After attending a play performed by the Know
Theater at The Summit, students returned to Springer for
lunch and afternoon activities involving discussions about stereotyping
- a focus of the earlier performance. Students were appreciative of the
workshop indicating that it allowed them to voice their opinions in an
atmosphere of acceptance from their peers. The students provided great
insights during the day with powerful comments such as "PEOPLE CAN
CHANGE - we don't have to be like this, we can become more accepting."

Extraordinary Stories
 As
a staff member and a proud parent of a Springer graduate, I've found
that Springer is an educational organization that respects both the
mind and heart. Springer is a place with tremendous competency and deep
compassion and it's that combination that makes it work.
- Dr. Mark
Helmick, Springer Psychologist
