Happy Tuesday everyone!! Today is  December 19, 2023, it's a B  - Day and it's a wonderful day to learn!

Birthdays:  Happy Birthday to:  No Birthdays today...

Today is..   NATIONAL HARD CANDY DAY  A favorite of young and old alike, National Hard Candy Day on December 19th, recognizes the sweet tooth in all of us.  #HardCandyDay

Most hard candies are 100% sugar with flavoring and colors added. To achieve a hard candy, confectioners boil a sugar syrup to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature is reached, the hot, pliable sugar is poured into molds or rolled and folded into shapes and left to cool. Once cool, solid sugar becomes hardened and brittle.

Welcoming Ritual:   One thing I am proud of this semester is?

Rooms and The Springfield District 186 App

Students and Parents:  Please download the SPS 186 app to your mobile device, and search for Springfield District 186 in the app store or Google Play Store.  

We have a fantastic new communication tool called Rooms.  Currently, LMS is using Rooms for communication for Extracurricular Activities to keep parents and students informed on practice times, schedules, and announcements.  Rooms also allow messages to be sent back and forth between the school and home!  If you have any questions, please email or call Mr. Hoffek

Students:  Please remember to use the restroom when you are dismissed from the Cafeteria at lunch before you go outside.  7th Grade Students, go directly back to your 5th-hour class after lunch.  There is no reason for 7th Graders to be on the Garden Level when you come inside from lunch.
