Greetings All Star Families,

Thank you volunteers!

We are so grateful for the incredible support and countless volunteer hours you’ve dedicated to making our Fall and Winter events truly special. Your time, creativity, and enthusiasm brought joy to our students and we look forward to more celebrations next week and in 2026!

A special shout-out to everyone who contributed to The Lion King production—whether it was designing props, helping with costumes, or lending your artistic talents. Your hard work transformed our stage into a magical world and gave our students an unforgettable experience!

Thank you for being such an essential part of our Country Springs community. We couldn’t do it without you!

As we head into the final stretch of December, we only have 3 more school days left this month, and they’re going to be exciting and quick! Please take a moment to review the calendar of events below so you don’t miss any of the fun and important activities coming up.

A big thank you to all our amazing All Stars and their families who joined us at Wetzel’s Pretzels on December 2nd! Your participation made a huge difference.

Thanks to your support, the Student Council raised over $300 during the event. Every dollar was donated to our Toy Drive (see picture), helping bring joy to children in need this holiday season.

We are so proud of our students for their hard work and dedication, and we truly appreciate our families for coming together to make this fundraiser a success.

Your generosity matters—and together, we make a difference!

We’re excited to introduce a new system to help keep our Lost and Found organized and efficient. At the end of each month, all unclaimed items will be cleared out and donated to support families in need. This not only helps us maintain a tidy campus but also ensures that forgotten items find a second life.

To minimize the number of lost items, we kindly ask that all personal belongings—including jackets, water bottles, and lunch pails—are clearly labeled with your child’s name. Labeled items are much more likely to be returned quickly!

We also encourage parents to remind their children to check the Lost and Found regularly. As part of this new system, we’ll be incorporating student reminders at school to help build this habit.

Items were donated on November 21, 2025. Next donation will be on December 17, 2025.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school environment organized, responsible, and sustainable!

The Country Springs PFA is having a Thinknlocal Fundraiser from 9/1/25 - 12/31/25. This is a great way to support our school by shopping and dining locally. Please download the app, dine and shop and upload your receipts. It's that easy!

Update!

UPDATE! Country Springs participated in a short term fundraiser with ThinkNLocal and we were honored with a 1st Place WIN! This means we earned an additional $1,000 for our school, plus the earnings from the fundraiser which were over $1,000 also! These donations will go towards our field trips and other items provided by the PFA! Thank you to the PFA for arranging this opportunity!

Happy December All Star Families! The holidays are upon us and I am so excited for the joyful and wondrous events and activities that we are celebrating this month here! As we step into this festive season, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible growth and resilience your children have shown this year! December is a wonderful time to pause, reflect, and spread kindness. Encourage your child to share gratitude, help a friend, or simply enjoy cozy moments together, these small acts make a big difference. Remember, the holidays can bring excitement and sometimes stress, so let’s keep routines steady and hearts warm. Thank you for partnering with us to nurture happy, healthy learners. Have the merriest of holidays with your loved ones and friends and make sure to spread holiday joy wherever you go.

Please be sure to follow our pick up and drop off expectations to keep our All Stars safe! We appreciate your patience in waiting to drop off and pick up your child; please be courteous to one another and the staff out on duty. All drivers must remain in their cars.

For safety reasons, please use cross-walks and sidewalks only. Do not cross the driveways.
