Thank you to our next Silver Sponsor for Spring Creek Athletics! Snow Environmental Land and Aquatic Services has donated $250 to our athletics program and is appreciated! Every donation helps for our community of children we serve at Spring Creek Charter in Paisley. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and support as we provide our students with extracurricular activities.

Spring Creek Charter School would like to thank our first Platinum Sponsor for our Athletics program in 2024-25, KPS Electric! KPS Electric has donated $750 to assist with athletic uniforms, transportation to and from games, and the paying of coaches. We would not be able to provide a quality athletics program for our students without the help of our local business like KPS Electric! If you are in need of electrical help, whether residential, commercial, or industrial, call KPS Electrical at 352-504-6700.
