 Message from Mrs. Briggs
Dear Spring Hill Families,
This week, our school community came together to culminate Black History Month in meaningful and memorable ways. Throughout February, our students learned about the achievements, contributions, and enduring impact of Black leaders, innovators, artists, and change-makers who have shaped our nation’s history and continue to influence our world today.
We were excited to cap off our celebration with a high-energy musical experience featuring Rock Steady and his Go-Go band. Students had the opportunity to learn about the cultural roots of Go-Go music, a genre that originated right here in the Washington, D.C. area.
It was a joy to see our students clapping, dancing, and fully engaged in the performance!
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our efforts to create inclusive, enriching experiences for every student.
We hope you enjoy the warmer weather this weekend.
Sincerely,
Amy Briggs

Women's History Month!
To celebrate Women's History Month in March, Spring Hill will be hosting a school-wide project to honor the many accomplishments of women in various fields. Each class will pick an influential woman of their choice and create a display to represent that woman.
We are looking for volunteers!
As the classes learn about different famous women, we want to also highlight the women in our community. SHES will be hosting grade-level assemblies highlighting the amazing moms, grandmothers, aunts, friends and all other women we know!
If you would like to present in person about your job, please sign up HERE.
If you would like to send in information to be displayed about your self, please email a photo and a brief paragraph about yourself to Mrs. Konstantin at ejkonstantin@fcps.edu by March 6th.
Come see the displays throughout the school during our SHES Fun Fair on March 14th.
