Donations ready to fill SCA pantry.
Students from Suffield’s two elementary schools, McAlister Intermediate School and Spaulding Elementary School, recently tackled hunger and essential needs through their annual “SouperBowl” initiative. Partnering with Suffield Community Aid, students in grades PK-5 combined their school spirit with community service by donating non-perishable food items and toiletries while casting their votes for their favorite team to win the Super Bowl.
This spirited event took place during the week of February 3-7, leading up to the big game on Sunday, February 9. Thanks to the incredible generosity of families, the schools were able to donate thousands of essential items to Suffield Community Aid, making a significant impact on local families in need.
Students eagerly participated in the friendly competition, with both McAlister and Spaulding accurately predicting that the Philadelphia Eagles would emerge victorious. McAlister students collected an impressive 693 goods, while Spaulding School contributed 664 items, showcasing their dedication to both their teams and their community.
The McAlister Student Council played a vital role in organizing and executing the event, ensuring its success through their leadership and enthusiasm. Their commitment to giving back exemplifies the spirit of community service that is so valued in Suffield.
The annual “SouperBowl” event continues to be a highlight of the school year, fostering kindness, generosity, and teamwork among our students. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the families who contributed and made this initiative a resounding success. We look forward to continuing this tradition and making a difference in our community for years to come!
