We are excited to be able to host our 19th Middle School Commencement Ceremony in person on Thursday, May 26, 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. The ceremony is expected to last an hour, and light refreshments will be offered afterward. There is no need to RSVP. 

If you can't make it to the in-person ceremony or wish to invite distant friends and family, it will be live-streamed via a private Facebook group to protect student privacy. To join the group, simply follow the instructions in Springmont Weekly News.

We are happy to announce that in addition to the Middle School-run Pizza Shop option on Mondays, Springmont will partner with Yay Lunch! for on-campus lunch deliveries Tuesdays-Fridays beginning in August of 2022. Yay Lunch! will work with local restaurants to curate menus specifically for Springmont. Parents will be able to order online, via a portal dedicated to Springmont, up to a month in advance, selecting from a variety of complete, healthy, and tasty lunches for their children. Lunches are made fresh, using simple, real ingredients, and delivered directly to campus daily. Stay tuned for more information!

And thank you for supporting the Middle School MEO (micro-economy-other)!

Parent volunteers have been and will continue to be a very important part of rebuilding the Springmont community!  We look forward to thanking all parent volunteers at our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast that will be held in conjunction with our final Springmont Parent Association (SPA) meeting of this school year. All parents are invited to attend - we appreciate our garden helpers, classroom volunteers, Spirit Store helpers, Room Parents, SPA volunteers, and all those parents who have helped in so many ways to make the 2021-22 school year extraordinary! Our students, families, and staff have benefited from your time, energy, and talents!

We hope you will join us on Friday, May 6, at 9 am in the Pavilion for some coffee and breakfast treats. There is no need to RSVP.
