Admissions Director Jan Annett Retires
Students, parents and staff gathered on October 12 to extend  their best wishes to retiring Admissions Director Jan Annett. In recognition of Jan's signature red hair, Student Council declared October 12 "Red Hair Spirit Day," and there were many redheads at the gathering.
Jan had been Springer's Admissions Director since 1995. Much loved because of her sunny smile and knack for making new families feel welcome, she has left an indelible mark on the Springer community.
Springer Welcomes Carmen Mendoza
 On October 22, Springer welcomed new Admissions Director, Carmen Mendoza. Carmen worked at Springer from 1996 until 2005 when a family move took her to Brownsburg, near Indianapolis. She held several positions at Springer, including Intermediate level teacher and Program Coordinator for the center.
While living in Indiana, Carmen earned a Master's degree in education and worked as a resource teacher, helping parents and administrators create education plans for students experiencing difficulty in school.
