I am proud to be a teacher at Spring Creek Elementary. I am excited about the Benwood Foundation and its support for teachers. We have an excellent principal who supports us as we try to help ALL students become not just proficient, but advanced. Also, we have some awesome kiddos and parents here at Spring Creek!
