Good morning, Springfield High! Today is Wednesday March 26th
As March keeps going, BAS is continuing its focus on friendship. Making friends involves opening yourself up to new experiences. Consider joining clubs, teams or activities at SHS to find students who share a common interest. Get involved at SHS by attending sporting events, plays, dances and other activities which offer a relaxing environment to meet people and socialize. Volunteering for school events or community projects is a great way to meet new friends while making a positive impact. And don’t forget to show up with a smile and a friendly attitude!
