Third-grade held its annual spelling bee. Each class held individual class bees where three winners were chosen.  These winners then competed in the grade level spelling bee. The class winners that competed were Michael Kitchen, Caitlyn Maloy, Jake Wilson, Aubrey Grant, Boyd Martin, Brandon Judd, Madison Bassir, David Bartholomew, Jaxon Hill, Kylee Keisel, Nathan Slater, and Kaden Liddiard.

Madison Bassir took first place, Brandon Judd took second, and David Bartholomew was third over all. Well done!

First-grade students sang about their favorite neighborhood helpers. There were plumbers, chefs, and even the garbage truck!

Students had fun watching the Second-grade Patriotic play. The second graders put in a lot of hard work memorizing lines and songs. They are all ready for fifth-grade, since they can name all 50 states.

The sixth-grade Hershey track meet was a success! Spring Lake students did very well and represented the school well. The students not only came away with many places but most importantly they came away with great memories.

Spring Lake sixth-graders graduated from the much loved N.O.V.A. program on May 8th. Since January, students have been treated to an engaging hour with Officer Hurst every Friday. They learned how to be exemplary citizens and to self govern themselves.

Since February of this year, Spring Lake Elementary has had the great pleasure of following the examples of these dynamic student council leaders. Back row, left to right: Olivia Waite, Daniel Fordiani, Samuel Sanchez, Kyle Neilson, Shawnie Johnson, Emily Thompson, Mattie Juber. Center row: Quaid Hutchinson, Kristen Whitney, Aliya Mittelman, Hailey Wilkinson, Brianna Bartholomew, Madison Losee. Front row: Maesyn Richins, Chase Tingen, Emily Olsen.

The Spring Lake Elementary Choir put on a fantastic spring performance. Choir director, Mrs. Diana Hunt, has worked hard all year to organize the choir and instill a love of music in the students of Spring Lake. The choir has been a huge success in its first year.  A big thanks to Diana as well as John on the piano for sharing your talents with us.  We look forward to what the choir has to offer next year and hope to see more students join in on the fun.  

The students at Spring Lake Elementary read, read, read, during the month of March for the chance to participate in our annual March Madness basketball shoot. Several dedicated readers were given the opportunity to make as many baskets as they could in thirty seconds.  Each basket made was worth dollars from Mr. Sainsbury.  There were also many books and other prizes awarded to students for their reading efforts.  It pays to read!

Kindergarten:  Melanie Molina, Daniel Ceja, Alana Whiting, Angel Vasquez, Kathryn Gaskill, Marty Grant, Zack Hadlock, Hannah Hurst, Tori Shirley and Derek Peterson.

First-grade:  Bentley Davis, Tana Trotter, Lexi Moore, Owen Frost, Caleb Atkin, Addilade Provstgaard, William Farrer, Sean Rawson, Remie Worthen, Brooklyn Bird, Matthew Scholl, Hyrum Siufanua, Joe Mittleman, Landon Kennard, and Nicole Hall.

These colorful birds began with a simple drawing, then magazine pages were cut into triangles and layered to complete their birds.

The students realized how quickly the bird came alive after layering it. Their drawings went from a 2D image to a 3D finished project. Each bird is different and unique, just like in nature.

 Nice job to all!
