Community Development
Springdales provides an environment in which we learn from one another and believe that by sharing resources we can serve the most vulnerable members of our society.
Looking forward to better times in the near future, we hope to continue to mentor our adopted neighbourhood Government schools, Swami Dayananad Secondary and NP Girls Senior Secondary School in their progress. We also hope to continue our commitment towards reinvigorating various community initiatives like the blood donations camps, health camps, adopt a gran, each one teach one, and others.
In keeping with our long standing tradition of building strong and meaningful associations with the community, the Springdalian teachers started a new outreach initiative. The staff of Springdales contributed woollen clothes, stationery and contributions were dispatched to the Uday foundation, an NGO and to the Family of Disabled a registered voluntary Organization serving people with disability . The letters of recommendation and appreciation that the school received motivated all of us. Our aim will be to scale up the donations in the coming times.
Throughout the pandemic and online schooling, the department for Inclusive Education in our school worked tirelessly to assist nearly 100 students with different learning needs -both at the Primary and Secondary school level. Some of our students participated in an online Athletics Meet at Sanskriti School and engaged in fun games and activities. For a smooth transition from online to physical school, our counsellors helped them adjust to the school reopening. Their support and mentorship was greatly appreciated and valued by the students and parents.
More recently the meetings between the Principal and the parents of students with special needs and from diverse backgrounds were welcomed by them. The tireless efforts of our dedicated teachers with the Let's Learn initiative helped minimize the learning gaps.
The parent community of Springdales has always supported all initiatives of the school and in this regard too they have shown immense support. They have come forward to make contributions of dry ration and groceries to Arya Mahila Ashram and Rashtriye Virjanand Andh Kanya Vidyalaya Society.
Many of our students and their families have also reached out to the community in the past two years. From volunteering with various NGO's to help local artisans and craftspeople to initiating their own collection drives, Springdalians demonstrated empathy and compassion in ample measure.
Simran Singh of std XI, has been closely involved with bringing a change in society through Girl Power Talk- a purpose driven organisation aiming to empower all genders with opportunities to grow and realize their full potential.
Aanya Gupta of our school co-founded the UPASANA FOUNDATION - a non profit organisation that worked with several children during the pandemic and helped them gain access to quality education .
We will endeavour to continue fulfilling our social responsibility which has been our glorious legacy.
