Principal's Message - September 25, 2026

Dear Springer Families,

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our Multicultural Fair last Friday such a wonderful celebration of our Springer community! We are so grateful for all of the countries and cultures represented, and for the delicious foods, beautiful clothing, amazing crafts, and wonderful stories that were shared.

What made the evening especially meaningful was seeing our families come together to share a piece of who they are and to learn from one another. These connections are what make Springer such a special community, and we are so fortunate to have such a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions represented in our school.

I would love to include every photo from the evening, but we would need a whole website just for that! 😊 Instead, please enjoy a glimpse of the many beautiful connections that made the evening so memorable. 

Thank you for sharing your cultures, your traditions, and yourselves with all of us!

Warmly,
Mrs. March

Bee border honeycombs and  with a honey pot. The adventures of Henry and Honey.

🐝 Henry - FIFTH Grade - Ramirez

Henry had a great week in Mr. Ramirez class.  He really enjoyed doing their morning meeting together and brainstorming with the kids what is happening with the patterns in Number Corner. It is so nice to get to know each of these students on such a great personal level, and watching them collaborate like this shows how important those morning meetings are to make connections with one another for greater collaborative success during their lessons.

Tanner-Graham - TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN - Honey 🍯

Honey had one of the BEST WEEKS she has ever had!

Ms. TG’s TK class earned Honey this week and she was truly treated like the Queen Bee she is!  The students cared for her in their Veterinary Office, they nursed her to health, and read to her in “Bee School.”  Honey never really noticed how much these students learn through play, but this week was so clear.  By playing with her, she learned how to read in a book from left to right, she learned to care and have compassion and empathy, and she learned that the community around you is very special.  Yes, this was a great week!  Thank you Ms. TGs class . . . . Honey can’t wait to come back.

Want to join the action? Sign up to volunteer and help make Walkathon a success! Adult volunteers and all students will receive a Walkathon T-shirt. More information about student fundraising is coming soon — every dollar raised supports our school! 

🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Walk or Wheel & Bike Bus are back!

Starting Friday, Oct 2, students are encouraged to walk, bike, or wheel to school on the first Friday of each month.  Live too far? Carpool with friends and use the park-and-walk spot near school. The grade with the highest participation each month keeps the Walk or Wheel Trophy 🏆  Don’t miss out on the bragging rights! 
 
The Springer Bike Bus now rides EVERY FRIDAY. Check out all the details at www.springerpta.org/bikebus. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact terry.barton@gmail.com and/or natalya.spicer@gmail.com and we can potentially add more bike bus days!

NURTURING CREATIVITY IN YOUNG ARTIST
The LAEF-funded Art Docents program is underway for the 2026–27 school year, and students across the district are already deeply engaged in exploring art. In classrooms from TK through 6th grade, children are engaging with unique art forms, experimenting with materials, and creating original pieces. 

These hands-on experiences are possible because families like you support LAEF. Donations to LAEF fund the Art Docents program, along with other specialized teachers, staff, and instructional materials that public funding alone does not cover. Huge thanks to the families who have already donated. If you have not yet made your 2026–27 gift, please consider doing so now during our Fall Fundraising Campaign. Gifts of any amount are greatly valued. 

Here’s how to partner with us:
Complete the LASD Back to School process at LASDEducationPartners.org
Step 1: Donate to LAEF
Step 2: Join and donate to the PTA for each school your children attend
Your donations make programs like Art Docents possible for every elementary student. Thank you for your partnership.
