Activities
Education is more than paper, pencils, and books. A comprehensive education also helps children through the wonderful, yet sometimes challenging, process of growing up. At Springfield Elementary, we provide our students with opportunities to explore new realms in learning, experience the arts, and in developing their own interests and talents.
Music
In music class, we introduce students to the basics of music as they learn to feel the beat, keep the rhythm, hear the melody, and sing from the soul. We invite you to attend our upcoming Springfield Elementary Music Program concerts.
- 5th and 6th grade concert: Tuesday, November 29, 2022
- 3rd and 4th grade concert: Thursday, January 26, 2023
- 1st and 2nd grade concert: Thursday, March 30, 2023
- Kindergarten concert: Thursday, April 27, 2023
Community Choir
The community choir gives students the opportunity to expand their performance and music skills and meet other members of the community who enjoy singing.
6th Grade Band
The curricular Springfield Platteview Community Schools (SPCS) band program builds on the foundations that students have developed in their k–5 curricular music classes. Beginning in 6th grade, students have the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument in small group instrument weekly lessons to start the year. In addition to their weekly lesson, in November all students at each school also combine once per week to learn how to rehearse and perform as an ensemble. You will be amazed at how quickly these students learn and improve when you see them perform and participate in concerts during the year!

Safety Patrol
Sixth grade students learn leadership and gain responsibility in the safety patrol role. Patrol members ensure their peers walk, but not run, to class; engage in positive social interaction, become a presence to prevent bullying incidents, and set a good example for others to follow.
Student Council
Our Student Council does many things to help organize and lead school activities. They are able to participate in the Homecoming Parade, take pictures for the Walk-a-thon, organize materials for Red Ribbon Week, make announcements at school, and help with the Talent Show.
Yearbook
The yearbook is run by Mrs. Corbett. This is her first year putting the yearbook together, and we are excited to see her great work! Students may be a part of the yearbook committee during the second semester. Forms to order a yearbook will be sent home in January, and due in March.
