Overview
Fundraising activities are conducted by the Springs Advisory Council year-round. These include special golf events, wine dinners, an annual cash campaign and online silent auction. In the 2021-22 school year, Springs CRO provided $160,000 to fund worthy, educational projects (up +42% vs. prior year). Projects included the purchase of library books, media, instructional software, computer technology, musical instruments, furnishings for special activity spaces, two types of high school scholarships, student grief counseling and more.
Volunteer mentoring and tutoring are a significant portion of the value Springs CRO provides to the community. To date, Springs CRO has recruited 24 residents as mentors who help students to reach their potential in elementary, middle and high school. Academic tutoring, which was sidelined during Covid, will be reactivated in the 2022-23 fiscal school year. Academic tutoring has focused on reading and math; these will be expanded to other areas of study in the future. CRO is also seeking general volunteers to help with needs that arise throughout the year.
