Tannehill Lodge 52

Helmer’s Headlines

You have heard me say on several occasions that my goal is to limit the amount of school supplies that a parent/student is asked to bring at the beginning of the school year. Here at Springer we want to respect your budget and not cause unnecessary stress.

Recently, we were blessed with over $800.00 of supplies for our students donated by Tannehill Masonic Lodge #52.

Again…one of our very own Springer Families comes through to help! Please read the information below written by Chief Bear, father of Hart Fry and grandfather of Vadin Moldonado. Along with his wife Wanda Fry, they delivered these supplies to us a few weeks ago. Tannehill Masonic Lodge #52 is the oldest institution in the Dallas Metroplex and from its inception in 1848 Tannehill lodge has had a close working relationship with the educational system.In the 1840′s and 1850′s the lower floor of Tannehill lodge was used for public schools.In fact the first school system in Dallas was formed and classes held in tannehill building.Tannehill has elected to assist schools in the Dallas area by making contributions to the schools in the form of school supplies.Tannehill lodge brothers donate money annually for this purpose then Tannehill Lodge matches that amount and reports that to the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas, the Grand Lodge then matches that amount and Tannehill purchases the school supplies.Physical year 2013 Tannehill was able to raise $4,000. For the schools.5 school were chosen.

Chief Bear, a past master of Tannehill nominated Springer Elementary. In addition to this organization, Chief Bear and Wanda are members of other organizations who would like to donate supplies to Springer.

Thank you Chief Bear and Wanda!
