Spirit Week 2007

Springbrook's Homecoming is set for Saturday, November 10th.

The Week of November 5-9th is designated at SPIRIT WEEK. SHS and the
SGA with the 4 classes are planning a terrific Spirit Week. Expect
your students to want to go to school dressed 'in a different fashion'
for this week. (follow the morning announcements for what is expected)
The classes do compete with each other for the honored 'SPIRIT STICK'.

The Homecoming 'PEP Rally' is set for Thursday night, November 8th.
Parents are welcome to attend, but since the whole school population
is welcome...space is limited. A report will be sent to our list from
my 'birds eye' view after the rally for those unable to attend (or
those who do not wish to take possible student seats).

The football game is set for Saturday, November 10th. We are playing
BlairHS.

The Homecoming dance is set for Saturday night November 10th to be
held at SHS.

Care Packages for Last Year's Seniors

Every year, members of the National Honor Society (NHS) gather care packages for previous members of the NHS that graduated the year before. This has been a Springbrook tradition for about the past 5 years. Care packages contain items such as Ramen noodles, candy, gum, toiletries, and notes from NHS current members. They are a token of appreciation for the time they served in the NHS and a few sweets to get through their freshman years" Post from NHS member,Beulah Erhiawarien.
