The Junior High Student Council collected Toys for Tots this holiday season. Students were asked to donate toys, which the Student Council members collected and gave to the Kiwanis Club of East Hampton to distribute to children.
Fourth graders had an ugly sweater contest. They had to design a sweater on paper and then write a persuasive essay on it convincing others students to buy it. The classes then voted on a winner. Fourth graders in Mrs. Santiago's class enjoy "Flashlight Fridays," a time during the day when students get to cozy up in a reading corner and read their books using a flashlight! Assemblyman Fred Thiele visited the school last week to celebrate the school receiving $50,000 in "bullet aid." The money will be spent on sports intramurals for grades third through sixth, LEGO for grades kindergarten through third, and an upcoming STEAM night.

There's a few annual traditions that Springs School teachers have begun this holiday season: The Outreach Committee hosts a "Giving Tree" where teachers can shop for an adopted family and buy the children (anonymous students) gifts and clothes.
Instead of a gingerbread house decorating contest, this year teachers will be decorating stockings and students will vote on the winning design this week. In order to vote, students had to purchase a raffle ticket for $1. All proceeds will go to towards breast cancer research. The PTA also held their annual "Penguin Patch" shopping boutique last week where students were able to do some shopping of their own for family members. Money raised helps support the PTA's programs throughout the school year. |
