After 12 years with the school, Toddler/Primary Division Head Cara Friedline is leaving Springmont to care for her ailing parents.

Upper Elementary student Giuliana is Head of School for the Day TODAY! Her parents were the winning bidders for this coveted opportunity offered during the live portion of Springmont's Masquerade Auction Gala last month.

After greeting families at arrival carpool, Giuliana will meet with administrators, participate in an admission tour, help with Field Day and Book Fair plans, observe Toddler & Lower Elementary classrooms, enjoy lunch off campus, and offer her classmates a sweet treat at the end of the day. In addition, she will be organizing and distributing special envelopes to all Elementary & Middle School students. One will contain a "golden ticket" that provides an oversized chocolate bar to the lucky winner!

We are excited about Giuliana's leadership today!
 

Springmont’s 22nd Middle School Commencement Ceremony will be held in the Pavilion on Thursday, May 22, beginning at 6:30 p.m.!  All members of the Springmont community are invited to attend, and parking is on campus. We look forward to celebrating these students and know you won’t want to miss hearing each of them speak about their Springmont experience and plans, hopes, and dreams for the future. If you can't attend the ceremony on campus, it will be live-streamed. More information will be shared next week. The ceremony is expected to last an hour and a half, and light refreshments will be offered afterward. There is no need to RSVP.

Students were accepted at many area high schools and have made plans to attend Academe of the Oaks, Bridgemont International School, Dekalb School of the Arts, Kennesaw Mountain High School Magnet, Lakeside High School, Riverwood International Charter School, The Atlanta International School, The Galloway School, The Paideia School, The Weber School, The Westminster Schools, and Woodward Academy.
