Hurricane Relief Collection Hurricane Relief Collection

Hello Spring Mills family.


Recently our country experienced an unprecedented hurricane. Many families in western North Carolina have been trapped in their homes with no resources or ability to leave to obtain the supplies needed for everyday living. As a community, Spring Mills Middle School would like to do a toiletry drive. When you are out shopping for your home, please consider buying extra shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. Items can be brought into the school and placed in the box in the foyer of the school. There will be a sign on the box so students will know where to place the items.


The drive will start on Monday, October 21st and run until Monday, November 4th. Items that are collected during this time will be given to the local Salvation Army who will transport the items to families in need in western North Carolina.


Thank you for considering being apart of this event. We appreciate you all and your willingness to help those in need.

Box Tops for Education Box Tops for Education

Dear SMMS families,

As part of our ongoing fundraising efforts, we want to remind you that you can help us earn funds through Box Tops for Education by simply submitting your grocery receipts.

Here are two easy ways to participate:

  1. Drop Off Your Receipts: Bring your receipts to the office and place them in the designated Box Tops Collection Box. Our Box Tops Coordinator will scan them for you—no need to do a thing!

  2. Scan Your Own Receipts: If you prefer, you can scan your receipts using the Box Tops app. It's quick and easy! Just download the app, scan your receipt, and submit.

Every Box Top adds up, and your participation helps us get closer to our goal. Please take a moment to either drop off your receipts or submit them through the app. We appreciate your support!

Thank you for helping make a difference!
