The 2019-20 Springmont Fund campaign is complete! Donations are still coming in, but as of the writing of this article, we have $123,582 in commitments and the support of 75% of our parent community. Beyond the THANK YOU we extend to all the generous families who participated, the members of the 2019-20 Springmont Fund Cabinet, listed above, deserve a special shout out! Thank you for all your work in support of this effort!
A special congratulations to Chris and Livia’s classes! Each reached 94% parent participation and earned a Pizza Party lunch with Jon.
The campaign may be over, but if you forgot and want to contribute, it’s never too late to show your support. We look forward to sharing the many ways these dollars will support faculty development and enrichment!

Earlier this week, 8th-grade Geometry students Matthias, Thierry and Thomas presented some special shapes - a rhombicuboctahedron, a small stellated dodecahedron, and an icosahedron - to Lower Elementary students. Even more impressive than their academic knowledge was their genuine kindness toward and willingness to share with our younger students. Their presentations were interactive, hands-on and inspiring, not to mention fun and informative. Students like these are prepared for high school and beyond, and we couldn't be prouder! Mark your calendars for our Middle School Graduation ceremony - Wednesday, May 20, 6:30 p.m.
