StandOUT Award
Mrs. Watson passed the StandOUT Award to Mr. Strandlund!
Mr.S has worked a lot this year stepping in and taking care of our kiddos! When Lane had him this year she was excited to talk about her experiences with him. His heart is truly in his work here at Springhill serving diverse students and we are lucky to have him!
