The Springmont School Board of Trustees invites and encourages all Members of Springmont School, Inc. to join the annual Meeting of Members. As a nonprofit corporation, Springmont's bylaws declare that all parents/guardians of current Springmont students are Members of Springmont School, Inc. with certain rights and responsibilities. Those rights and responsibilities include participation in an annual Meeting of Members and voting on the slate of Trustee candidates nominated by the Board of Trustees. Each elected trustee serves a three-year term.

The annual Meeting of Members of Springmont School, Inc. will be held on Friday, May 10, 2024, at 8:45 am in the Middle School Liberal Arts classroom. During this meeting, members of the Board will provide an introduction of nominated Trustees and an overview of the current strategic position of the school, as well as a summary of the work in which the Board is currently engaged. The members' meeting will be followed by our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast and the final SPA meeting of the year. A light breakfast will be served.

You may submit your vote (one per Family) on the proposed slate of Trustee candidates by 5:00 pm on May 15, 2024. Proxy ballots will be provided (and collected) during the Members' Meeting but will also be made available via email and in the Front Office starting Friday, May 10.
 

Throughout the course of each school year, our parent volunteers share gifts of their time and talents as garden helpers, classroom volunteers, Room Parents, library helpers, animal caretakers, and event volunteers!  As a token of our appreciation, we invite all parent volunteers to join us for some coffee, fruit, and breakfast treats at our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast in the Middle School Liberal Arts classroom immediately after the annual Meeting of Members, which begins at 8:45 a.m. on Friday, May 10. This gathering will also be our final Springmont Parent Association (SPA) meeting of the 2023-24 school year.

So that we can plan seats and treats, kindly click the link in Springmont Weekly News to RSVP by Thursday, May 9, at 3 pm.

Another exciting Little Shop of Stories Book Fair is on its way! Tuesday & Wednesday, May 14 &15, 8:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. 

Student Shopping:

• Half Day Toddler and Half Day Primary students may shop with their parents after mid-day dismissal carpool.
• Older Primary students who do not nap can come to the Book Fair during the school day. A teacher will bring them, and parent volunteers will assist with shopping. Please send $15-25 cash in a labeled envelope.
• Primary students who nap on campus (All Day & School Day) should come to the Book Fair with a parent. We are unable to accommodate that age level with our parent volunteers. Right after arrival carpool is a perfect time to shop!
• Elementary and Middle School students may shop independently. Children should bring cash in a labeled envelope. Typically, $20-25 will cover the price of 2-3 paperback books. Parent volunteers will assist children with selection and payment. 

Volunteers are needed! Be on the lookout for an opportunity to sign up next week!
