In a recent New York Times interactive article titled "Look Up Your School District's Test Scores," the national headline was a sobering one: American math and reading test scores have fallen across the country.

But when you look closer at the data points for our community, the story is entirely different. Not only is Spring Lake Public Schools already performing at two grade levels above the national average, but we are actually improving our scores! 📈

To say we are proud of our students, educators, families, and community-at-large is an understatement. Operating in this kind of "rarefied air" doesn't happen by accident—it is the direct result of the relentless hard work, dedication, and high standards kept by our entire Laker community day in and day out.

Subscribers and those with access can view the interactive data and see the Laker difference for themselves here:

Though it isn't run by our Spring Lake Recreation department, we wanted to put an awesome rowing camp on your radar! It is a fantastic opportunity for kids to get out on the water, learn a unique team sport, and enjoy the gorgeous summer weather.

Right at the end of the year, our Holmes Elementary 4th graders showed us all what it truly means to have a big heart! After working hard to earn an incredible $1,000 from their Market Day, the students held a special assembly to donate 100% of the proceeds to a deeply meaningful cause.

At the heartfelt request of Jill Carlson, the money was donated to Kenzie’s Be Cafe in loving honor of her daughter, Sylvia Carlson. We were so incredibly moved to have both Jill and the owner of Kenzie's Be Café join us at the assembly so our students and staff could honor them in person.

We want to encourage all of our Laker families to add a trip to Kenzie's Be Café to your summer bucket list. Located right in our neighboring community, it is a powerful business with a more powerful mission—providing meaningful employment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Way to go, Holmes 4th graders, for turning your hard work into an act of pure kindness and community love!
