 Doing GREAT things at SHS!

 

Term 4 A Honor Roll

Term 4 AB Honor Roll

 

In June, Ms. Wilson and a group of SHS students (Christian Patton, Zachary Suell, Aaron Hunter and Taylor Grayson) went to Costa Rica. Traveling with the company EF, the group got to experience Costa Rica and all it's diversity. From climbing to the top of a volcano, zip lining across mountain valleys, kayaking, and a river boat ride that included many crocodile sitings, the trip was full of adventure and excitement. We hope you will consider coming on next year's international trip with Ms. Wilson. Stay tuned to SHS website for destination announcement!

Students in the Springfield High Jr. Civitan Club held a collection drive for their end of the year community service project.  Students collected various baby items and monetary donations for the Open Door Pregnancy Center in Springfield.  The Open Door Pregnancy Center offers free pregnancy resources committed to providing women and men with confidential support services, referrals and information about pregnancy, health and relationships.

As many of you know, there use to just be a hill leading up the auxillary gym doors.  This past month, Mr. Owsley's Construction Technology classes participated in building a set of concrete steps out the little gym.  They are a fantastic addition the exterior of SHS.

On Friday, May 10th, SHS had its 1st ever Senior Walk for the Class of 2013.  After seniors were finished taking their exams, they congragated in the Vocational Wing.  As the rest of the students lined the halls and teachers wore their own cap and gowns, the seniors paraded through the halls as the underclassmen clapped and cheered them on.  Each senior was given a "You Mad a Difference" pin and handed it to a lucky faculty member.  There was so many emotions and was a very successful event.  Congratulations class of 2013!!!

Springfield High in the Community

 

Here at SHS, May is Anti-bullying month and the Anti-bullying Club has been busy planning several events to celebrate. On May 2nd, Springfield High joined a nation-wide anti-bullying campaign called “The Million T-shirt March against Bullying” where students, staff and faculty who purchased a campaign t-shirt took to the streets to take a stand against bullying. Although in this case the “streets” were the ones around the school, the message is still the same; it’s time for students and adults to stand together in order to eradicate bullying from our classrooms, hallways and anywhere else bullying is taking place.

 

In addition to the march, the student body can pledge to be a positive influence at the school and in their community by signing the Anti-bullying Pledge Wall. Designed and painted by the Anti-bullying Club members and teacher-sponsors Candise Hendricks and Leah Wilson, the pledgee has the opportunity to be witnessed taking the pledge and then sign the mural itself. According to Wilson, “this wall helps promote actively standing up against bullying. Not by the one being bullied per se, but by the witnesses who by far are our strongest force in numbers. They need to feel empowered to take a stand, and this wall helps to engage them in the dialogue surrounding the bullying crisis we have in America.”

 

Finally, later this month, the club will be hosting a workshop for all students where clips from Lee Hirsch’s “Bully. It’s Time to Take a Stand” documentary will be shown. Hendricks and Wilson will speak and all participants will be “trashing” a word that they use to call friends and classmates, which on deeper reflection could be considered offensive, by writing that word down on a piece of paper, wading the paper up and throwing it away by the door on their way out, symbolically ridding themselves of that word and its use. “In the end, we hope to raise awareness in the student population that one of the easiest and most effective ways to make the world a better place is to be kind to everyone you encounter,” says Wilson. This month of May is a celebration of how each and every one of us has a special place in this world and that we can make a difference when it comes to bullying.
