Bulldog Bulletin
The Week of September 27th
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college and career readiness program that helps students develop the skills, habits, and confidence they need to succeed in school and prepare for their future.
At Springer Middle School, AVID students receive support in organization, time management, note-taking, reading, writing, study skills, collaboration, and goal setting. Students also explore colleges, careers, and future opportunities through classroom activities, guest speakers, research, and field trips.
AVID is offered to students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. The program is designed to bridge the gap between where students are today and where they want to be in the future by providing structure, encouragement, and high expectations.
With the support of their families, teachers, and AVID staff, students are encouraged to take ownership of their education, set goals, and develop the skills needed to be successful in high school, college, careers, and beyond.
Help Design the 2026–2027 Yearbook Cover!
Springer students are invited to enter our Yearbook Cover Contest! Create an original, hand-drawn design answering the question: What does being a Springer Bulldog mean to you?
The winning artwork will be featured on the front cover of the yearbook, and the winning artist will receive a free yearbook!
All entries must be created on bright white 8.5" × 11" paper in portrait orientation. Students may use crayons, colored pencils, or markers—no digital artwork, tracing, or glitter. Please write the student’s name and grade in pencil on the back.
Entries are due September 28 and should be turned in to Ms. Harris in Room 229. See the attached flyer for complete contest rules and details.
