Sock Drive Success!

This year's "Sock it to em" sock drive for the homeless of Boston was a complete success, thanks to the generous and motivated Tantasqua Warriors. Over the course of two and a half weeks, students, teachers, and staff brought in new socks, donated money, and volunteered their time to help reach our 2,000 pair goal this year.

The vulnerable in our community should never be forgotten, for they are as much a part of our world as any other person. This January, Tantasqua, you illustrated this exact sentiment; your open hearts will bring warmth and a little light to so many people. Thank you!

 From day one of the drive, the Be Good to People club knew that our school would come together, support each other, and give back to the community.

We did it Tantasqua - you are looking at 2,000 pairs of brand new socks! They are on their way to Boston, MA this weekend to bring warmth to the most vulnerable in our communities! 

Holiday Cards for the Elderly

The holidays can be such a lonely time for so many. This year, the Be Good to People club wanted to try and change that in a small, but hopefully meaningful way. Getting together before the December holiday break, they worked for hours to create 143 holiday cards, candy canes included, for residents at a local nursing home. While we couldn't visit all of the residents, we are happy to know that a little light might have come into their lives with a wish for happy times.

Halloween Fun

The Be Good to People team was out and about this Halloween - incognito handing out candy in West Brookfield. On Halloween night, 2016, a group of students dressed up in costumes and brought some much needed cheer to the young people of West Brookfield and the surrounding towns. In a time of political, economic, and environment stress, it is wonderful to spend time coming together for some good fun.

Nice work everyone! :)
