Dear Springhouse community,
I am Jeret Phelps, I am a 19-year-old senior student, and I am very grateful to our community at Springhouse for many reasons. Since my first time at Springhouse, the community has provided me with a safe, open, and loving environment. This fruitful environment has helped me become more confident in my own abilities and has enabled me to dive deeper into my passions.
My first days at the school were spent in the printshop for a summer printing camp. During the camp, I was encouraged to explore different mediums of print by creating art I was passionate about. I think back to this time because it was the first project where I decided to focus my art on a cause that mattered to me: invasive species management to conserve native ecosystems. I would incorporate this newly blossoming interest into my final project for the camp—an invasive species poster to raise awareness about the invasive Tree Of Heaven. This early experience in the community convinced me to do an extra year of school so that I could get a fuller 2 year experience at Springhouse...
