Education Foundation Presents Blue Out Bash
A Message from the Superintendent
This past Monday the Spring Hill Board of Trustees approved $101,000 worth of instructional technology for our classrooms. A portion of this purchase includes interactive televisions which have the functionality of a computer, whiteboard and projector. We were also able to purchase five Chromebook carts with 150 computers for the junior high and high school. Our primary teachers will also receive new teacher computers to help with their lessons. IPads were also included in this purchase for our primary and intermediate campuses.
Studies have shown that these devices facilitate comprehension, student engagement, enhanced literacy skills and improve learning within our classrooms. The staff and students are very appreciative to everyone that helped play a role in bringing this new technology to our classrooms.
Happy Valentines Day,
Wayne Guidry

Partners in Prevention Mentors Honored
Partners in Prevention Mentoring Programs have been working in our local communities since 1996. They serve an average of 200 students annually. The Co-Pilots (boy) and Forever Friends (girl) Mentoring Programs meet weekly on campus during lunch or after school hours. During this time they receive information and tools to develop as individuals and to create/keep healthy relationships. They also try to meet once a month for a fun activity outside of lunch/group meetings.
Spring Hill ISD currently has 18 mentor/mentees pairings participating in the program. Youth Mentors provide a young person with extra attention, encouragement, and communicate a deep belief in their potential. Through these positive relationships we see an increase in self esteem, higher attendance rates, less behavioral issues and a growth in leadership skills and accountability. We are thankful for the support from SHISD administration, allowing us to provide this program to your students.
Pictured below with Superintendent Wayne Guidry are Mentoring Program Coordinator Bonnie Hull, Linsey Beall, Debby Bass, Shirley Johnson, Kathy Mendicello, Meredith Smeltzer, Claudia Ruiz and Devin Tramel.

Primary Students "Jump" at the Chance to Support Kids Heart Challenge
Spring Hill Primary School partners with the American Heart Association to help fight heart disease - the nation's #1 killer. Our students will help their heart by jumping rope as well as learning heart healthy habits. They will also help others with sick hearts by collecting donations through the Kids Heart Challenge.
During the week of January 27-30, the students jumped rope during their PE classes. Based upon the amount of money collected, the students receive thank-you gifts from the American Heart Association. Our students raised $7020.94! Any student who raised $150 or more will get to slime Coach Lewis! Congratulations on a successful challenge!
This is the 20th year the Primary campus has participated in this program.

SHJH Leadership Students Read to Primary Students
Spanish 3: Not just a bunch of “Habla”
Spanish Three is an advanced measure course of the foreign language. Part of the course work involves conversational phrases that revolve around community and service work. Becky Peurifoy, lead Spanish teacher, is no stranger to either of these. Growing up in Argentina in a missionary family the language and the leadership is an integral part of her character that she hands on to her students, through opportunity and example.
“Caring and Sharing is a community outreach open on Mondays and Tuesdays located in South Longview across from LeTourneau University,” Peurifoy said. “Local families can come and get clothing and other household items on a needs basis.”
Many clients of the mission speak Spanish, and this project allows students to utilize their newly acquired skills and to help expand Spring Hills community service.
“It is a great opportunity for kids to see how conversational Spanish differs from the textbook in a practical setting,” Peurifoy added. “This real-life experience is something you just don’t get in a textbook.”
According to Bailey Ratcliff, the fluent Spanish speakers from class served as hosts for the event. The leaders modeled proper etiquette and communication skills.
“I learned that the mission does not only serve low socioeconomic clients,” Ratcliff added. “They also help those with disabilities and handicaps. It was very eye-opening.”

A Message From Nurse Jaymie Walton
Spring Hill Parents,
FLU season has arrived!
Common signs and symptoms of the flu are fever greater than 100F, coughing/sneezing,
headache, body aches and extreme fatigue.
Please help us minimize the spread of the flu by keeping your student home if they have a fever
greater than 100F. Your student must also be fever free for a full 24 hours WITHOUT the use of
fever reducing medications like Tylenol or Ibuprofen before they can return to school.
Good handwashing, staying home when running fever and exhibiting flu symptoms and yearly
flu vaccines are the best way to protect your family and reduce the spread of the flu.
Thank you for helping us keep our Spring Hill students healthy!
