π€ Service in Action: Spring High Seniors Shine at Houston Food Bank
A group of outstanding seniors from Spring High School rolled up their sleeves and stepped into a meaningful Volunteer Community Experience at the Houston Food Bank, organized by Ms. Adriana Alvarado and the Spring High School Special Education team. These students demonstrated professionalism, responsibility and a strong work ethic throughout the day, earning praise from staff members at the site for their positive attitudes and dedication.

Stories, smiles, and a love of reading filled Spring ISD during Read Across America Week!
District leaders visited campuses to read their favorite books to students, bringing story time straight into classrooms. Superintendent Dr. Kregg Cuellar and Chief of Staff Dr. LaTracy Harris joined young readers at Link Elementary for a special story time moment. ππ At Thompson Elementary, Chief of Transformation Dr. Xochitl Rodriguez read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish to excited third graders.
The celebration continued with families at the FACE Smart Start Literacy Event, where students explored playful activities that supported reading, math, social skills and motor development. Campuses like Anderson Elementary also hosted book fairs, helping students discover new stories to take home.

π Lights Up for Theater in Our Schools Month!
Cue the spotlight and raise the curtain! π¬β¨The Spring ISD Board of Trustees officially proclaimed March 2026 as Theater in Our Schools Month, celebrating the creativity, confidence and collaboration theater brings to students across the district. The proclamation passed unanimously, reaffirming Spring ISDβs commitment to arts education and giving students the stage to shine β on and off it. π
Taking center stage were Spring High School students Kiana Nolan (senior) and Malia Davis (junior), who represented their campus Thespian troupe and the International Thespian Society. They shared how theater builds confidence, strengthens communication skills and even supports academic success β with research showing students who complete four years of arts courses often earn higher SAT scores. ππ
With UIL One Act Play competitions approaching, theater students across Spring ISD are already preparing to bring their stories to the stage. ποΈπ
