URGENT UPDATE: Last Thursday, November 2, 2023, the Springfield Township Police Department joined forces with over 50 students for an exhilarating game of Hide and Seek at Springfield High School. This community-building event, which has quickly gained popularity, underscores the importance of youth engagement and local support.
As temperatures dropped, the enthusiastic participants bundled up to enjoy the nostalgic game across the school grounds. Local businesses played a crucial role in the event’s success, with DeCheco’s Pizza generously providing pizza to keep players energized. Meanwhile, Walmart #1911 contributed prizes for those who exhibited the best hiding skills. One lucky student walked away with a new TV, Beats ear pods, and wireless speakers—an impressive reward for their stealth.
The Springfield Township Police Department expressed gratitude for the collaboration that made the evening possible. “A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make the night possible,” stated their social media page, recognizing key organizers including Trustee Kellie Chapman and Chief Jack Simone. They also commended Superintendent Shelley Monachino and Dustin Boswell from Springfield Local Schools for their vital roles in bringing the community together for this joyful evening.
This initiative not only fosters a positive relationship between law enforcement and youth but also highlights the community spirit of Springfield. With local businesses stepping up to support the event, it reflects a shared commitment to creating a safe and engaging environment for students.
The Springfield Township Police Department looks forward to continuing such events, aiming to strengthen community ties and promote friendly interactions among officers and students. Keep an eye out for future gatherings that promise to be equally exciting and impactful.
