Five Good Things in Spring

Holiday magic rolled into Spring ISD as the Spring ISD Police Department spread joy through the Blue Santa event, creating meaningful moments for students and families. Thanks to generous donations from officers and community sponsors, each participating student was given up to $200 to spend during a special Shop with a Cop experience, choosing clothes and toys while spending time with the officers who support their schools. The Blue Santa program highlighted care, dignity, and a continued focus on student well-being, making the holiday season a little brighter across Spring ISD. 💙

Wells Middle School teamed up with Impakt Foundation Houston and Pearls Book Club to support families in need through a community distribution event. Together, they provided free H-E-B turkey vouchers, canned goods, and dry goods to 25 families. Wells Middle School also extended this effort to additional CIS campuses — Twin Creeks Middle School, Bammel Middle School, and Westfield High School — helping reach even more families. We’re thankful for this collaboration and the positive impact it created across the Spring ISD community. 💚

Winter Literacyland brought the joy of reading to Dekaney High School as families gathered for a literacy-filled celebration packed with creativity and connection. Along with storytelling, crafts, hands-on activities, and reading moments, families snapped photos with Santa, crossed paths with the Grinch, and even spotted the Cat in the Hat roaming the fun. The night sent more than 3,300 books home with students and families, keeping the reading joy going long after the doors closed. A huge thank-you to the sponsors who made it possible, especially Spring AFT, our book sponsor, for helping place books directly into students’ hands and powering a night the Spring ISD community won’t forget. 💙
