Overview
Fundraising activities are conducted by the Springs CRO Advisory Council year-round. These include special golf events, wine dinners, an annual cash campaign and an online silent auction. In the 2023-2024 school year, Springs CRO approved $147,100 to fund worthy educational projects. Projects include: the purchase of library books, media, library furniture, instructional software, computer technology, music and art supplies, funding for a mobile Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics (STEM) lab, career counseling, swim lessons, two types of high school scholarships, student grief counseling and more.
Volunteer mentoring and tutoring are a significant portion of the value Springs CRO provides to the community. To date, Springs CRO has recruited 51 residents as mentors who help students to reach their potential in elementary, middle and high school. Academic tutoring was reactivated in the 2022-23 fiscal school year. Academic tutoring has focused on reading and math but was expanded to other areas of study at R.C. Edwards Middle and D.W. Daniel High School. CRO has enlisted 62 tutors and general volunteers to help with needs that arise throughout the year and continues to look for more help!
