Springbrook Weekly Digest
Week of June 12
A Message from Ms. Valentine, Acting Principal
Summer Break is upon us! This is the last week of school. We held grade level Town Hall meetings last Friday that elevated the safety protocol of "see something say something." We look forward to circling back to this practice in the fall. We discussed the importance of school involvement through the vehicles of extracurricular opportunities and mentioned how students might start new clubs. Thank you to Dan Feher, athletic specialists, and the fall coaches for hosting last week's Fall Sports Infomation Night. This summer is filled with opportunities to begin work on student service-learning (SSL) experiences, enroll in summer school, enrichment, or the college application processes.
This issue of the Springbrook Weekly Digest includes the following:
- June 17th last day for students (early release schedule)
- Recognizing Mr. Martin Baker
- Successful Justice, Law, and Society Conference
- Eligible Families - Meals Programs
- Summer School
- UMD Finance Workshop for Teens
- Rising juniors and sophomores - time to start the college process
