Fresh Harvest
Tucked away in a north Springfield neighborhood, two dedicated farmers tend to a plot of land that promises to provide a unique opportunity for local students. The agricultural oasis, filled with exploding colors of various produce, is a test menu of sorts, piquing the interest of curious young taste buds, while offering lessons in sustainable practices. The farm, nestled between single family homes and apartment complexes on Flamingo Avenue, is owned by Springfield Public Schools. Everything indicates the land has historically been used as a farm and orchard.
District adds Magnetic Reading Foundations to elementary curriculum
As part of Springfield Public School’s (SPS)commitment to enhance learning throughout all levels, the district’s Teaching and Learning Department has added the Magnetic Reading Foundations curriculum to all K-2 classrooms. The new teaching materials were presented during the 2024 SPS In-Service Week; the district’s week-long, in-person summer event that bring teachers, staff and administrators together for collegial connection, trainings, inspiration and teaching materials.
Library managers get FTE upgrade, join effort to boost literacy across district
Starting this fall term, Springfield Public Schools (SPS) students and families will begin seeing a lot more of their librarians. In all sites, library managers have now been upgraded to full time employees. Library managers not only work with every student and staff member in their buildings, but they are also responsible for circulating, tracking, and shelving thousands of library books each week, all textbooks, curriculum materials, and student devices for their school.
