Springer Elementary
Summer Nights
An opportunity for extended Science learning was enjoyed by Springer families on two evenings over the summer. Numerous students and parents turned out to experience “cool activities” for “cool kids” involving a variety of science concepts on June 26th and July 31st. Families investigated properties of rocks and soil and had fun discovering how to make golf balls float in liquids just by adding sugar! Summer days were hotter than blaze, but…oh, those Summer Nights!
