StandOUT Award
Mrs. Freeman passed the StandOUT to Mrs. Spainhour.
"I am passing the standout torch to a teacher who many of our students may not get a chance to work with directly but she shares her expertise and passion for children not only at Springhill but across the District. She is a resource for teachers and works to help us all make learning better in our classroom with strategies and tools for our students. Thank you Mrs. Spainhour for sharing your wealth of knowledge and love of children with us as a true standout"
