Greetings!
Even while snow covers the ground, we anticipate the warmth and beauty of spring!  January and February are months of burrowing down, digging deep, and working hard to get at the core of what we are all about...helping students find success in their school experience. However, just as we wait for the arrival of spring flowers, we watch as children who were struggling begin to show signs of budding and growth in their learning. How marvelous the blooms will be! | |

 Hearts and Houses for Haiti
Springer students have BIG hearts! Student Council recently brainstormed ways students could contribute to the rescue and relief efforts benefiting the people of Haiti. The result? Hearts and Houses for Haiti. Under the guidance of Springer's award-winning art teacher, Corrinne Thaler, students used free time to design and make pins with a house or heart motif. These pins were sold to students, families, and staff. All money collected was donated to the American Red Cross.

This year's Artist in Residence was Molly Zakrajsek, whose expertise is in the area of graphic art. The Musician in Residence (currently working with students) is James Hart, Adjunct Professor of Music at Xavier University, who teaches electronic music and music theory. |
