UPDATE: Last Thursday, the Springfield Township Police Department engaged with over 50 students in a thrilling game of Hide and Seek at Springfield High School, showcasing community spirit and collaboration. This lively event, which is gaining popularity as a staple in local engagement, had police officers joining students in the cold, creating a memorable evening filled with laughter and excitement.
The night was fueled by generous contributions from local businesses. DeCheco’s Pizza on Canton Road provided delicious pizzas to keep participants energized, while Walmart #1911 on South Arlington Road donated prizes for the best hiders. One lucky student took home a new TV, Beats ear pods, and wireless speakers, highlighting the competitive spirit of the game.
Community leaders played a vital role in making this event a success. The Springfield Township Police Department expressed their gratitude on social media, thanking key organizers including Trustee Kellie Chapman and Chief Jack Simone for their efforts. They also recognized Superintendent Shelley Monachino and Dustin Boswell of Springfield Local Schools for their commitment to fostering community ties through this engaging activity.
This event not only provided a fun evening for students but also strengthened relationships between law enforcement and the community. The police department’s initiative demonstrates their dedication to building trust and camaraderie with local youth.
