One of the best things about our work 💙💛

It’s not just about education, it’s about preparing students for life beyond the halls of SSD. Our SEA members work tirelessly all year long to help the next generation rise to challenges, explore new opportunities, and reach their goals.

Have something to share? DM us and tell us your story!

We could NOT be more excited to share this news! Let’s hear it for one of Springfield and SEA’s best… Mrs. Damato! What a perfect recognition for a GREAT teacher and member! 💙💛

“Independence Blue Cross (IBX) selected Sarah Damato, a Special Education teacher at Springfield High School in Delaware County, as the third winner of the recently launched IBX Honor Roll campaign. The IBX Honor Roll is a joint initiative with the Philadelphia Phillies that recognizes exemplary teachers in the Philadelphia five-county and New Jersey regions.”

MORE SIGNS AVAILABLE 💙💛

TEACHERS: In your reflections on the school year, and while you prep for the year to come, we invite you to DM us pictures of some of your best lessons to share out to the community of SSD.

Here we see an engaging and thoughtfully designed lesson from one of our high school teachers, Mr. Hermann. Students in his course were asked to explore sunspots and make appropriate calculations (using specialized equipment for safety, of course). A few other teachers took the opportunity to learn beside them, as well.

Did you or your SSD student experience an awesome lesson? Feel free to tell us the story! We love to share in the learning and experiences that are provided by our dedicated SEA members.

Yard sign campaign is going great! Stay in touch for next steps to come have your voice heard at a board meeting! 💙💛
