Springfield Teachers’ Association Offers Annual Erma Lee Mathews Scholarship
In 2020 the Springfield Teachers’ Association (STA) awarded a scholarship to Tatelyn Lasley, who is in the final year of the Teacher Education program at McPherson College in Kansas. The scholarship has been awarded since 1979. STA members fundraise to both fund the scholarship and donate to charitable causes such as the Lion’s Club Toy Drive.
STA is now taking applications for the 2021 scholarship. The Erma Lee Mathews scholarship is open to Springfield High School graduates who are currently in their junior or senior year of college and are pursuing a career in education or working with children.
The application should include a cover letter; a transcript; and two letters of recommendation, one from a professor and one from a person in the educational field with whom the applicant has worked. The cover letter should include, but is not limited to, the applicant’s goals, volunteer experiences, and impetus for pursuing a career in education. The application deadline is March 1, 2021 and should be mailed to Renee Loflin, STA President, Springfield School District, 389 Tipton St., Springfield, CO 81073.

Springfield High School's Student of the Week - January 18th-21st, Heather Hancock

The junior high basketball game scheduled for tomorrow against McClave has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 11th at 3:30 p.m.


Procedures for the junior high game versus McClave on January 26th.
Spectators - Each player will be allowed two(2) spectators. These names have been provided to the office and will be used to check-in individuals to the games. Upon arrival, spectators will need to check-in with the gatekeeper and have their temperature checked. Spectators are asked to cooperate with the mask mandate, practice socially distancing while in the gym as well as when entering and exiting the facility.
Format - All girl's games will be played first (JV, Varsity). At the conclusion of the girl's games, the gym will be emptied of all spectators, players, etc. so that it can be cleaned and sanitized. Boy's spectators may enter the gym once the cleaning procedures have been completed. Boys spectators are discouraged from arriving early; you will be asked to wait outside or in your vehicle until the appropriate time.
Concession Stand - The concession stand will be open. Please practice social distancing while in line. Food and drink will not be allowed in the gym but can be enjoyed in room 3. This will help to expedite the cleaning process between games.
Live Stream - The games will be live streamed on the Springfield School's Facebook page.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep our student-athletes safe!

Fantastic Job!!


Wise words we can all learn from.


High School and Junior High basketball games begin soon! Attendance to games will be limited, and the County Health rules of the hosting team will determine what those limits will be. For home games parents will be given top priority. In fact, if a game were played today, we would guarantee all player’s parents could attend. As it has been overstated the last several months this situation remains fluid. Attendance and even game schedules can, and most likely, will change as we progress through our winter sports season. We will do our best to notify the Springfield community about changes through our webpage, emails, and Facebook. In addition, changes will be made public on a daily basis through the school bulletin. Stay tuned for game details as they become available. We appreciate your understanding as we face unprecedented times.
