UPDATE: Last Thursday, the Springfield Township Police Department made headlines by transforming a typical school day into a thrilling community event at Springfield High School. Over 50 students bundled up against the chill to engage in an exhilarating game of Hide and Seek, highlighting the police’s commitment to community building.
The event is quickly becoming a beloved tradition, with local businesses rallying to support the enthusiastic participants. DeCheco’s Pizza generously donated all the pizza, ensuring that students were well-fed and energized for the game. Additionally, Walmart #1911 contributed exciting prizes, with one lucky winner claiming a brand new TV, Beats ear pods, and wireless speakers for their exceptional hiding skills.
In a heartfelt message on their social media page, the Springfield Township Police Department expressed gratitude to everyone involved. “A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make the night possible,” the post stated, acknowledging key figures such as Trustee Kellie Chapman and Chief Jack Simone, who played pivotal roles in organizing the event. The efforts of Superintendent Shelley Monachino and Dustin Boswell from Springfield Local Schools were also recognized for fostering community unity through this memorable evening.
This engaging initiative not only brought joy to the students but also deepened the relationship between the police and the community they serve. The Hide and Seek game exemplifies the positive impact of collaborative efforts and the importance of creating lasting bonds within Springfield.
