Principal Update for October Link: https://app.smore.com/n/vcsz1

October is National Principals Month!

We are proud to recognize the incredible leaders who serve our students, staff, and families across Springtown ISD each and every day.

Our principals wear MANY hats. They lead campuses, support teachers, encourage students, solve problems, celebrate successes, handle the hard days, and do so much behind the scenes to keep our schools moving forward.

We are incredibly grateful for this group and the leadership, dedication, and heart they bring to Springtown ISD. 🧡

Throughout October, help us celebrate our campus leaders and thank them for everything they do to make a difference for our Porcupines!

Happy National Principals Month! #PorcupineFamily #POJOMagic
