Talent Show

Message from Ms. Briggs

Dear Spring Hill Families, 

We hope your family had a wonderful Spring Break! Our talent show right before break was a wonderful showcase of all kinds of talent. It truly showed the joy that our students offer Spring Hill ES!

This week, we celebrate our amazing Assistant Principals, Mrs. Pourhashemi and Mr. Solsberry. We are so grateful for their dedication and care that they provide our staff, students, and parents every single day.

We also celebrate our wonderful librarian, Mrs. DeVylder and our librarian assistant Preety Wang. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful and caring educators who keep the excitement of books alive for our students!

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

 

Sincerely,

Amy Briggs
