SOCCER CAMP – IMPORTANT DEADLINE
We have had a terrific response and are looking forward to a great camp. The purpose of this announcement is to remind those who are planning to register, but have not yet done so, that you only have about 1 week left to still get in on all the cool stuff (jersey, camp t-shirt, soccer ball. etc.) being INCLUDED in the price of camp. If you register after May 25th (45 days prior to camp), you will not receive all of these extras, or you will have to purchase them separately. The kids love using the Challenger soccer ball and wearing their jersey at camp, so we would hate for anyone to miss out on that. Don’t delay! See link below for online registration. http://registration.challengersports.com/FindACamp/FindACamp.asp?Method=CampSession&Key=0|1|20697

PTO
PTO plans are already underway for next year, and one of the things we really want to focus on is communication. One way we will do that is through the use of parent class representatives. These parents (1 per grade level) will serve as small group liaisons by both getting information TO classroom parents as well as hearing suggestions and answering questions FROM them. We will need for these representatives to be in place before the beginning of the school year, so if you are interested in volunteering, please contact incoming PTO President Jenna Brown (jennahbrown@knology.net) as soon as possible. This will not require a huge time commitment, but you will be utilized! Reps will attend PTO meetings when possible and be able to email or call parents at various times throughout the school year. Please consider helping the families of Springwood School by serving in this way!
COURSE OFFERINGS
Students currently in grades 6-11 will need to turn in their completed course offerings forms to Mrs. Allyson Matthews or Mrs. Nan Cantrell before the end of the year. Additional forms can be picked up from Mrs. Nan Cantrell in the high school.

POWER OUTAGE
Dear Parents,
Springwood experienced a power outage this morning. A transformer blew near the school. Alabama Power and Lanett City worked together to get it back on as soon as possible. Students were never in any danger. We were able to have a “normal” day until the power was restored. I just wanted you to know in case your Wildcat mentions being in the dark. You might think he/she was refering to Mr. P, but we were actually in the dark for a while this morning. All is well now.
Have a God filled day!
Mr. P.
