Our Study Garden is overflowing with the fruits (and vegetables!) of hard work, patience, and care. From colorful corn and peppers to fresh potatoes, every harvest reminds us that great things grow when they're nurtured.

As we prepare to welcome students back for a brand-new school year, we're reminded that learning is a lot like gardening. We plant seeds of kindness, curiosity, and confidence—and with encouragement, those seeds grow into something amazing.

Here's to full harvests, fresh beginnings, and a year of growing together! Springfield Public Schools, Springfield, MO Foundation for Springfield Public Schools

📚 BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING UPDATE 📚

Please read carefully as our schedule has changed this year.

In years past, The PTA Clothing Bank and the Kiwanis Shoe Bank have operated at the same time. As attendance has grown, so have wait times, and unfortunately we’ve seen an increase in heat-related illnesses and medical emergencies due to lines extending outside.

To help shorten wait times and keep everyone safer, the two programs will operate on separate days this year.

👟 Kiwanis Shoe Bank
📅 Monday, August 17 | 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
📅 Friday, August 21 | 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM

👕 PTA Clothing Bank
📅 Tuesday, August 18 | 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
📅 Thursday, August 20 | 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM

We know families will need to attend on two separate days, and we truly appreciate your understanding. This does not mean there won’t be wait times, but we’re hopeful this change will reduce long lines and help prevent heat-related emergencies.

⚠️ Important Reminders
✔️ This event is for Springfield Public Schools students only.
✔️ Your student’s SPS-issued ID number is required to check in for both shoes and clothing.

Thank you for your patience as we work to serve SPS students safely and efficiently! ❤️
