Springfield Public Schools Foundation

The Springfield Public Schools Foundation supports teachers and schools in many ways by investing in innovative projects that empower students and elevate learning across District 186. One powerful example is Voices of Our Generation, led by Franklin Middle School teacher Ms. Angie Nesbit.

With the help of a Foundation grant, Ms. Nesbit’s students launched the school’s first-ever podcast. Through this experience, Ms. Nesbit shared, “Students have grown in their confidence in areas of planning, speaking and researching. They have taken on so many roles to make our class a success.”

To support more projects like Ms. Nesbit’s and help educators across District 186 bring innovative ideas to life, join us at the Foundation’s Annual Dinner and Art Auction or giving a donation.

📢 District 186 will be open for school on Friday, January 10, 2025. We look forward to seeing our students today for in person learning!

🧤🧣As always during the winter season we encourage you to dress warm, wear boots or sturdy shoes and give yourself some extra time for travel in the morning! First Student bus company has done test drives today, prepped their vehicles, and are ready to roll. Our District crews alongside City crews are in our lots and on the streets plowing and salting.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these winter conditions.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s school.
