 Message from Mrs. Briggs
Dear Spring Hill Families,
Wow! What a crazy weather week we have had! We are so excited for our annual Fun Fair this Saturday. A huge 'Thank you' to our incredible PTO and parent volunteers for organizing and volunteering your time for such an exciting event. Our Spirit week leading up to our Fun Fair and STEAM/Literacy Night was a blast. From crazy hats, Fairy Tale Characters, Wacky Wednesday, and wearing all green, students and teachers showed off their school spirit!
We hope to see you all at the Fun Fair!
Sincerely,
Amy Briggs
