Parents, principal Randie Fidler and Dr. Dan Steska, district superintendent, also attended. Having a class that is always ready to work and looks forward to starting the day makes his job easy, Springer said. In a statement read by Fidler, Springer wrote that the class isn't typical. Springer also wrote that he has watched the class bond and support one another during the year. You never know what's going to happen when you walk in the door.
Springer mixes equal amounts of practical lessons on life with a dry, witty humor.
But he also tells them how proud he is that they are going to graduate next month. While they can joke about graduation, some of the students needed extra encouragement to get this far. One senior has only spent three years in the United States and didn't speak or write English when he arrived. Another had some problems that required him to repeat a semester of school. Gaylon Brevard said she was delighted to have been invited to the recognition breakfast.
