Spring Road Elementary

The 2025 Graduates from Spring Road School returned this morning to celebrate by walking the hallways full of memories and friendships. Spring Road Roadrunners Are On Track for Success! Good Luck Seniors!

This week I am feeling all the emotions. Friday will be my last last day of school with kids.
The Spring Road staff has been incredible! They started a 10 day count down and each day I pop a balloon to reveal something special that they have planned. I have had lunch, breakfast, popsicles with the principal, pretzels and frosting (one of my favorite sweet & salty snacks), a minion day, a coffee break and 15 classroom created books about what I should do when I retire. Today I was instructed to stand outside the gym doors with a basket. We had our last all school PBIS assembly and as the students walked into the gym they dropped a paper heart into my basket. I brought them home and dumped them out on my floor to read them. Through tears and laughter I read over 275 personal messages. To say my ❤️is overflowing is an understatement. I have the most amazing staff and students. I am forever grateful that I have been a Rockin Roadrunner for 31 years and a member of the NJSD school system for 34. Best. Career. Ever!!!❤️❤️❤️

Remember how much fun you had as a kid playing kickball at recess? How about shooting hoops with your buddies? Ever wonder what Gaga ball is? Do you want to take a 20 minute break in your day and just be a kid again? We would LOVE to have you join us at recess! You would NOT be in charge of supervision. You just get to come and play with our students! If you are interested in volunteering to play at recess, please click on the link for more information. I will publish a new sign-up every 2 weeks.

We have noticed so many positive benefits of having adults PLAYING WITH our students at recess. More students are actively engaged in games, no one feels left out, students learn how to work through frustrations faster and there is so much laughter! While we love playing with our students, our staff needs the break at recess to prep, make parent contacts, touch base with other staff members, eat, and of course... use the bathroom. We are wondering if you would ever like to come play with us. I have created a Sign-Up Genius for people to volunteer 20-25 minutes to join us for recess. I will create a new Sign Up Genius every 2 weeks.
Please sign up if you are interested in coming to school to play kickball, basketball, gaga ball or a good old-fashioned game of Red Light/Green Light or Sharks and Minnows. We would love to have you join us!
