Share Springmont!
January 14, 2019
Word-of-mouth referrals are the most trusted recommendation for today’s parents and are the #1 way new families learn about Springmont. Please share your family’s Springmont experience with neighbors, friends, colleagues and co-workers whenever you can, but especially this week as we celebrate Share Springmont!
• Like and follow Springmont on Facebook and share our posts!
• Share your positive Springmont experience by reviewing Springmont on Google and Great Schools.org. Look for details in Thursday folders.
• Refer a family to Springmont, and if they enroll, you will receive a $500 account credit. Simply detach the bottom portion of a referral card and pass it along to a friend, neighbor or co-worker or email Andrea Restifo letting us know you are sending a family our way! Referral cards will be distributed again Friday and are also available in the Front Office.
