Be Involved
Be Involved
Springmont students are math wizards and musical performers, writers and scientists, soccer players, and violinists. At Springmont, they’re comfortable enough to step out of their comfort zones and take part in all the school has to offer. Teachers and Staff enable them to explore every interest and develop many talents. Consequently, students learn more about themselves and their passions, broadening the scope of their future. Students learn to be leaders in their own way and take pride in their school, their accomplishments, and themselves. We couldn’t do these things without the help of many: parents, volunteers, and donors. It takes a community and that’s what Springmont is.
SPRINGMONT PARENT ASSOCIATION & VOLUNTEERISM
Parents are essential partners with Springmont in the education of children. Our parent organization mobilizes and coordinates volunteers for many events throughout the year, including the Springmont Festival & Montessori Mile, Field Day, and a variety of other community events. Parents are offered many avenues for becoming actively involved in either short-term or longer-term roles.
Our parent association was started in 1992 by a group of parents as a support system for the staff, Teachers, and students, and is a vehicle through which parents have the opportunity to become an active part of the school community. Children benefit from seeing their parents engaged in their school environment. The Teachers and staff benefit from the extra support, both concrete and in spirit, given by parents. Through the Springmont Parent Association (SPA), parents have the opportunity to become involved and make a difference in their child’s educational experience.
Welcome
Dear Springmont Families,
Welcome! As your 2024-25 Springmont Parent Association (SPA) Co-Chairs, we are excited to serve the Springmont community and hope to continue the amazing work that Elizabeth Keromytis and Kristin Maiwand have done over the last two years!
Our objective as SPA Co-Chairs is to build community by helping to connect parents/guardians and recruiting parent volunteers for various school events and faculty/staff appreciation opportunities. In order to meet our objective, we need everyone's participation. We want each of you to feel a connection to our unique community. So, whether you have only 30 minutes or a couple of hours, your ideas, time, talents, and voices are truly needed and appreciated. There are endless ways in which you can contribute.
The best way to stay up to date is to follow the Springmont Parent Association Facebook group. This Facebook page is not affiliated with the official Springmont Facebook page but is a forum where parents can connect, share resources, ask questions, etc.
The Springmont Parent Association’s meetings are noted on the school calendar, and we have a busy schedule of events for the 2024-25 school year, so keep an eye out for our emails!
We thank you in advance for all the support you offer our great school and ask that you not hesitate to ask us any questions; if we don’t know the answers, we will happily point you to someone who will.
We’re going to have a great school year!
Sincerely,
Steve Little and Caro Werner
2023-24 Co-Chairs of the Springmont Parent Association (SPA)
