February 2022 Newsletter

MAINSPRING ACADEMY: January 2022 – Mainspring Academy was featured in First Coast News’ “The Buzz” in preparation for the upcoming Miles for Mainspring 7-Day Virtual Step Challenge, taking place February 14th-21st, 2022. Athletes Aiden Postemski from Middleburg High School, former tight end Gary Barnidge of the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns, Nick Washington of the Florida Gators, and Rutgers Scarlet Knight’s Isaiah Washington voiced their support for the fundraiser; and Mainspring Academy students and staff created signs encouraging supporters to “Make their steps count”.

#MilesForMainspring2022 7-Day Virtual Step Challenge is a fundraiser to support the $10,000 goal for music therapy for the 52 special education students at Mainspring Academy. Registrants who successfully complete their walks each day will be eligible to win a prize (valued at up to $200) in a daily raffle, and a grand prize (valued at up to $1,000) for completing all 7 days — with additional entries added for every $50 they raise in personal fundraisers for the school.

Registration ends Monday, January 31, 2022. CLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION.
