Supporting Student Philanthropy
December 01, 2025
Guided by our mission and core values, Springmont students are encouraged to see beyond themselves and to find ways to give back. They are aware of circumstances beyond our campus and eager to support others. Through authentic, student-led efforts, they come to understand that giving back is fundamental to society’s success.
To this end, Nathalie's Upper Elementary Class is hosting a Holiday Market, offering soups, bread, and cookie mixes! You can support these student entrepreneurs and philanthropists by pre-ordering using the link in Springmont Weekly News! Proceeds will benefit an organization selected by the students.
Items must be pre-ordered by 4 pm on Monday, December 8, and can be picked up on campus on Friday, December 12, at either 8-8:30 am or 3-3:30 pm. Please bring CASH for payment!

A Win-Win-Win: Support Students, Strengthen Springmont, and Direct Your Tax Dollars
November 17, 2025
As we enter the season of giving, we’re reminded how generosity connects and uplifts our entire community. Your support of Springmont not only enriches our students’ experiences each day but also helps our school remain strong and accessible.
Did you know that there’s a unique way to make a great impact — one that’s a win for everyone? Through Apogee, Georgia’s Tax Credit Scholarship Program, you can redirect a portion of your state taxes to provide Tuition Assistance for eligible students at no additional cost to you.
Here’s how everyone benefits:
You win — by deciding how your state tax dollars are used and receiving a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit.
Students win — by gaining access to an exceptional Montessori education that might otherwise be financially out of reach.
Springmont wins — by welcoming more diverse and talented students into our vibrant community.
It’s quick, easy, and meaningful:
- Apply before December 31 to reserve your 2026 tax credit.
- Keep your tax dollars local and see the direct impact of your contribution.
- Support the people and place you already value — Springmont!
Apply today at Forms – Apogee Scholarship Fund. The process takes just a few minutes, but the results last a lifetime. Learn more by joining us for a Virtual Q&A session tomorrow, November 18th, at 7:00 p.m. Click here to RSVP and receive the link.
Yearbook Cover Art Contest Winners!
November 17, 2025
The cover art theme for this year’s Yearbook is ‘The Great Outdoors.’ Winners were chosen democratically based on their adherence to the theme, creativity, and general aesthetic. Congratulations to Upper Elementary students Anjali Mackhoul, Olivia Randall, and Amreetha Rajarajen, whose artwork has been selected for our front cover (pictured). Congratulations also to Middle School students Zoe Hamilton and Ashlyn Ritterkamp, who have won the back cover placement.
Shoutouts also go to Partha Vishwanath and the team of Leela Gupta, Avery Jordan, Katya Best, Jack Phelps, Amelia Rahman, and Natalie Watson, who are our honorable mentions and whose artworks will adorn signature pages inside the Yearbook.
Since Creativity is one of Springmont’s Core Values, it's no surprise that our students made voting so difficult! We’re so proud of each of you for your hard work and thoughtful entries.
Help SPA Support Those in Need
November 17, 2025
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the Springmont Parent Association (SPA) would like to support those in need in our wider community. This year, we will be supporting Solidarity Sandy Springs - a food pantry right here in Sandy Springs that we've supported in years past. Last year, we donated 313 pounds of food. Let's make this year even better!
This week, we will be collecting food items for donation. There is a labeled bin in the Pavilion near the Front Office doors for non-perishable foods. If you can, bring a can (no glass, please)! Anything you can bring is great! If you need inspiration, check out the list of their most needed items.
Solidarity Sandy Springs started in March 2020 to help food-insecure families during the COVID shutdowns. That grew into a community movement to help overlooked families. They serve 750-800 families per week and have served over 100,000 shoppers.
