Spearman ISD - Dedicated to Education...Committed to Excellence

Our GBE students have enjoyed having our Lynx & Lynxette friends on our campus on Fridays. Through the Adopt-a-Lynx program, classrooms have been assigned an athlete that visits every week. Today, our 5th graders loved playing catch with a few of our football players. GO LYNX! 💜

Lynx and Lynxette Athletics. Please help us raise money for our fundraiser by clicking the link below. Thank you! https://app.raise-365.com/digital/386590/7549?session=18600685

The Spearman Lynx and Lynxettes have started a donation fundraising drive today. This will serve as the fundraiser for both boys and girls athletics this year. This is a conscious effort to not over saturate the community and kids with different fundraisers for each individual group and sports. The money raised will be split equally between boys and girls to address immediate needs within the two groups. People who choose to donate will receive a receipt. The kids are competing so the individual kid you respond to will receive the points toward a free backpack, hoody or both. Thank you for the support of our athletic departments.
