Men’s basketball is heating up, and all three Spring ISD high schools brought the energy this week. Westfield, Dekaney, and Spring high schools each secured wins, setting the tone for an exciting stretch of district play. 🔥 Buckets dropped, sneakers squeaked, and the win column got some fresh ink. Keep an eye on these squads as basketball action continues across the district!

Major progress is visible at the Education Performance and Instruction Center (EPIC) construction site, and this milestone is a big one. Crews are moving forward with the Flyloft walls, which towering 80 feet high and rank among the five heaviest walls in North America! These massive structures will anchor the Performance Hall and showcase the precision, planning, and serious brainpower behind the project. Every beam, bolt, and wall brings EPIC closer to becoming a powerful new home for learning, creativity, and performance.

In case you missed it, right before the winter break, the Grinch made surprise appearances that brought big smiles and bigger laughs! 🟢 At Anderson Elementary, he greeted students bright and early, while Reynolds Elementary families enjoyed a Grinch Movie Night complete with snowball fun and holiday cheer.
