We had a great time at the Homecoming Parade! Thank you to our Springfield Family and Friends for making sure we had enough candy and other items to hand out and also to all our families and staff that came out at marched with us!

October is Accountable/Responsible

Focusing on Habits of Character each month is one way we implement our MCAS Strategic Plan Strategy of Educating the Whole Child.
