Ninja Warrior Attendance Challenge!!! EVERY DAY COUNTS .. Show UP and StandOUT
Every class is working to get 12 days of perfect attendance for their classroom. This means when everyone in their class is at school and no one is tardy or checks out early that counts as 1 day. For every five days over the 12 days they can earn more time on the course.
Everyday counts for our students and we want them to be at school every day! The challenge is on!

Standout Award
I would like to pass the Springhill Standout to someone who exemplifies having a strong heart and strong mind each and every day. This teacher teaches with passion and excitement that is inspiring to both her students and her colleagues. She cares deeply about the wellbeing of her students academically and personally. She can always point out the bright side of things, always has an uplifting word, and has energy that is positive and contagious. A verse that comes to mind when I think about this teacher is from Matthew 5:15-16 - Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Mrs. Starkey truly does shine bright and stand out!
Fun in Enrichment with Mrs. Uekman
First graders had hands-on experiences with properties of light and how it travels by using shadow puppets!
