Springfield graduates - 100 years ago!

These photos, courtesy of Springfield History Museum, are of the graduating classes of 1926 - Springfield Schools have been celebrating graduates for more than a century.

So much of the world is different, and so many of the hopes and dreams of students are the same.

Thurston Elementary welcomed an extra-special surprise guest this afternoon – Ducks quarterback Dante Moore!

Mrs. White’s 2nd grade class read Dante’s book “From Journey to Dream” and sent him letters answering the questions at the end of the book. Dante was so touched that he organized a visit to the classroom, where each student got a signed copy of the book to keep.

After the classroom visit, the whole school was treated to a surprise assembly, where Dante read his book aloud and answered some really thoughtful questions.

The Cheetahs were inspired to dream big and stay kind!
