Old Glory Comes Home to the Intermediate School

Fifth graders at Spring Hill Intermediate School were recently honored to raise a "new" U.S. flag in front of the school. The flag had flown over Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan earlier this year. It was sent from student Jake Van Daele's cousin, who is serving there in the U.S. Navy. Bryan Fields, Van Daele's cousin, shared the flag as a thank you to the students in Marissa Cowan's class who had sent holiday cards to Fields and others in his battalion.

Happy "100" Days of School!

On Feb. 2nd, students at Spring Hill Elementary (SHES) and Prairie Creek Elementary Schools celebrated their 100th day of school. The celebrations were full of fun and activities. Students colored pictures, played games, exercised and more, all centered around the 100 theme. Pictured above, SHES first graders show off their "100 days" spirit.
