Notes from Mr. Holt
I recently read another article and really liked the questions the authors provided. I found it thoughtful I wanted to share with you as well.
Having conversation about school with elementary school age kids. Asking “How was school today?” might not get you far. Instead, ask questions like these for a better picture of your youngster’s day:
- "What’s the coolest thing that happened? ”
- “Pretend you’re the teacher. How would you describe the day?”
- “What made you laugh?”
- "What was the most creative thing you did?”
- “How were you kind or helpful today?
- "How was someone kind or thoughtful to you?
We are looking forward to our Valentine Parties on Friday the 15th.
Happy Birthday to Coach Brummel (10th) and Mr. Richard (15th) this week.

Proposition S would fund 39 priority projects
Springfield voters will be asked April 2 to consider a $168 million bond proposal to fund 39 high-priority projects, which were recommended by a citizen’s task force to make our schools safer and stronger for students and staff.
The projects will renovate or reconstruct 6 schools, create safer entrances at 31 schools, plus add classroom space to expand preschool.
Projects that would be funded by Proposition S include:
Secure entrances will be built or renovated at 31 schools
Renovation at Sunshine and Williams elementary schools and Hillcrest High School will address accessibility and security challenges, in addition to other improvements.
New schools will be constructed for Boyd and Delaware elementary schools and Jarrett Middle School, fixing all security and accessibility issues.
New storm shelters will be added to Boyd, Delaware, Williams and Sunshine elementary schools, Jarrett Middle School and the southwest early childhood center.
Classroom space will be added to expand preschool services in the district.
These school improvements would cost less than 10 cents a day in additional property taxes for a home with a market value of $100,000. This proposal requests an 18-cent increase to the debt-service levy, which would be phased in over two years: 9 cents in 2019 and an additional 9 cents in 2020.
