Extracurricular Student Programs

There are a wide variety of extracurricular student activities available to Springer Students at the school and in the community, including the programs described below. Many activities, classes, and clubs are offered before school, during lunchtime, and after school right on the Springer Campus.

 

Many of the programs are free, on a drop in basis, such as the lunchtime art club. Others are offered by outside organizations. Enrollment for those programs is handled through the companies and not the school or PTA, so please read the instructions on each flier. Some of the activities have registration deadlines and limited enrollments, so register early to ensure your child a spot.
