Activities

  • Student Activities and Clubs at Springer Elementary 

    Student life at Springer Elementary is fun and exciting for all grade levels. The following is a list of just a few of the great activities that students can look forward to at Springer:

    Girls on the Run
    3rd-6th grade girls lace up their shoes and enjoy running with friends and teachers with the Girls on the Run, led by Ally Morris and other teacher sponsors. Students set personal goals and train to improve stamina and endurance while running. All levels of runners are welcome, from beginning to elite runners. Parents are invited to join as well!

    Kindness Council

    Kindness Council is for 5th and 6th graders interested in community service for the Rockwall community.  Shawn Wylie, school counselor, along with Assistant Principal Rebecca Allen and Librarian Rachael Cutting, guides the students through canned drives, a coat drive, toy drives, and more. The students create awareness with peers regarding how to reach out to those in need.

      
    Guitar Ensemble
    Springer sixth graders have the unique opportunity to join our Guitar Ensemble, and learn how to play guitar. Led by music teacher Susan Schulter, these students quickly move from the basics to performing as a group.  Springer is proud of its Guitar Ensemble!

    Stallion TV
    Good morning, Springer Stallions! Each morning, this energetic group of fifth and sixth graders greets each classroom during our televised morning announcements. Students are chosen through an audition, and work together as a team in the broadcast room each morning to produce and run each show. SAGE teacher Melissa Barnes and Music teacher Susan Schulter sponsor this group that meets at 7:30 each morning. From weather to lunch to special interviews and reports, our Stallion TV team is an exciting group!

    Yearbook
    Our Springer Yearbook is produced by our PTA Yearbook Committee. Students love to look back and enjoy the memories of special events highlighted in our yearbook.

    UIL Competition
    Springer Stallions in grades 3-6 are invited to try out for a variety of UIL teams sponsored by Springer teachers during the second semester. Students try-out for teams in subject areas like Storytelling, Ready Writing, and Number Sense, and practice after school to get ready for the district competition in the spring.

    Band
    Sixth grade students have the opportunity to take Band during specials. Students learn how to play their instrument and work together to perform at special concerts throughout the year.

    String Orchestra
    Springer fifth and sixth graders are invited to join the String Orchestra and learn how to play their chosen instrument as well as how to play together. In addition to performing at special evening performances, our string orchestra even led the school in caroling before the holidays.

    Robotics
    5th and 6th graders meet after school to work on building and programming robots!  It is focused on learning the basics of robotic construction and programming, as well as helping students learn to work together as a team. They will be competing against other Dallas area teams in this year’s VEX IQ competition.
