March 2025 – Students participated in our first Donuts with Dudes event and enjoyed their visits with their fathers, brothers, and uncles!

Congratulations to Rene Ducksworth for winning the $1000 prize package for Miles for Mainspring 2025! Thanks to all of our participants and sponsors, we raised $5,125 towards the maintenance of adaptive enrichment programming at Mainspring Academy! Congratulations to ALL of those who completed the full 7-day challenge!!! If all 7 days was not your personal goal – maybe it was starting something new, doing something healthy, getting more fresh air, getting time for yourself, or healing from something difficult. Congratulations – We are SO proud of you, too. No matter what your reason, your support has made an impact on the educational experiences of our students.

Thank you to our 2025 Miles for Mainspring Gold and Silver Sponsors! (Click each business to view their websites)
