Springer School and Center has again teamed up with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to bring the internationally renowned Dr. Russell A. Barkley for a second visit to Cincinnati.  

In April, Dr. Barkley will present two evening programs for parents and an all-day professional development program for educators, clinicians and other professionals.  

The April 16, 2012 parent program will explore the nature of ADHD and executive function, and review the latest research and its implications for management and treatment. The April 17 program will provide parents with real-world strategies for helping their children at home and at school.

On April 17, Dr. Barkley's program for professionals will explain his latest theory of executive function and explore the under-appreciated role played by emotions in the life of a child with ADHD.

Crisp fall weather and a strong turnout made for a successful day at the 2011 Springer Bike Hike and Family Picnic in October. Students and staff and their families enjoyed good food and participated in games and crafts as they raised money for Springer Family Association activities. 

SFA President Betsy Ayres was pleased with the turnout. "With over 400 people in attendance, the very generous support of our corporate sponsors and the active participation of not only our current families, but past and extended families as well, Bike Hike 2011 went down as a very special day for the entire Springer community!"   

SFA thanks corporate sponsors Fresh Market, Pepsi Co, All Seasons Rent All and Klosterman Baking Company, as well as all the volunteers who helped make the day a success.
