Save the date March 20, 2010, for Springstone’s 7th Annual Silent Auction. We will be celebrating our 7 wonderful years with our “7 Wonders” theme this year. As always, there will be trips, toys, gifts, games, food, and a few surprises. Please join us for what is always a great time. If you can’t join us but would like to contribute, check out our wish list.

We are pleased to offer an expanded summer program this year. Many families have asked us to open our summer program to students not currently enrolled in Springstone and this year we have decided to do it. In addition to our  project-based learning blocks, we have developed two academic support and growth blocks, designed specifically for students with executive function challenges. Regardless of which blocks you choose, all our courses are taught by our expert staff who incorporate pragmatic language and social skills support in all their courses.  Click here for full course descriptions.

Read the article about Springstone students in the “Future City” competition in the Contra Costa Times. Three 7th graders competed with 19 other teams and worked for months on their project. We are very proud of their hard work and achievement.
