Gift of Knowledge
CALLING ALL DECEMBER, JANUARY, AND FEBRUARY BIRTHDAYS
Winter Gift of Knowledge Celebration is scheduled for Wednesday, January 26th from 8:30-9:00am. What better way to celebrate a birthday than by donating a book to the Spring Street Media Center? For a small fee, the birthday child will attend a celebration before school in the cafeteria, receive a goodie bag, select a book with a personalized bookplate acknowledging their generosity, and be the first one to take that book home! Each child will also be given a bagged breakfast to take with them and enjoy during snack times.
Look for the Gift of Knowledge invitation in the communication folders for the Winter birthdays and return it with a check made out to Spring Street PTO by Monday, January 24th! Contact Cheryl Bortnick with any questions: clmiha@gmail.com
Note: Students ONLY-- no parent volunteers for Winter Party. Masks will be required and snacks will not be eaten during the celebration this year.
Worcester Railers Game Day
Join the Spring Street community at the Worcester Railers Shrewsbury School Game Day on January 23rd. At this game, they are offering heavily discounted tickets of $15 (compared to the standard price of $27 per ticket) to families in the entire Shrewsbury school district.
We are also excited to have Trax, the Railers mascot, join Mr. Mabie THIS MORNING in greeting students into the building to generate excitement for the game!
Please note that this is NOT a fundraiser for the PTO. It is simply a day for Spring Street families to come together while watching a thrilling hockey game!
