Supporting Springer's Annual Fund directly impacts our greatest need - financial aid. With the help of donors like you, we are able to award over $1.2 million in financial aid to 54 percent of our school's families. Last year we were also able to provide workshops and programs to 716 children, parents and professionals through our center.
