December
POLAR PLUNGE:
It's not too late to sign up to "plunge" or make a donation!
Toys for Local Children:
For the past month, every day after school and on some weekends, SHS students have been volunteering with TLC (Toys for Local Children) in an effort to help bring joy to a child's holiday. They have come faithfully to shop for toys or select the perfect item from the thousands that are donated. They wrap, organize and ultimately get the opportunity to deliver some of these cherished items. This Wednesday they witnessed the thrill on childrens' faces when they traveled to the Greg House in Lynn to be "Santa" for a day. They knew instantly that their afternoons of wrapping had been worth the effort! But these students, as admirable as they are, simply reflect the spirit of the community of Swampscott. TLC is fortunate to have support from the recreation department, the police department, churches, dance studios, local gyms, former students and more. Certainly, a huge part of that support is our own school community --we have to thank all of you for your continued support- purchasing greenery, "adopting" a family, donating toys/gift cards, organizing fundraisers, and more. A special thanks to the school staff who work directly with us to make sure all the local families are supported - all the school nurses and secretaries who organize so much and Lytania Mackey Knowles and crew for making sure that the "not so little" students are not forgotten. We are very proud of what TLC is able to do for our community during the holiday season but without our colleagues' support it couldn't happen. Happy Holidays to all of you.
