Auditorium From the Superintendent It is not too early to mark your calendars with the date of the Cold Spring Education Foundation's annual spring event! This year it will be held at the beautiful El Encanto Hotel on April 11, 2015. The event will include dinner, dancing, and a silent/live auction. This fundraiser directly benefits Cold Spring students by helping to ensure that our Specialist Programs - technology, art, music, physical education, and library continue as a critical part of the curriculum. So save that date to come to the stunning Santa Barbara Riviera, celebrate with friends, and contribute to the rich educational experience at Cold Spring School!
