Events & Activities

Bringing the community together is central to our organization.

Throughout the year we host events that bring together families and provide unique learning experiences for the students.

Family Dinner Dance

The Family Dinner Dance kicks off the school year with a huge outdoor party, complete with a DJ and pizza! This event typically occurs in the early fall and is fun for the whole family.

Fun Fair

Fun Fair is an annual spring event that brings the whole school community together. Spring Street is transformed into a fun zone filled with games, crafts and food.

Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair takes over the media center every fall.  Students are able to visit the Book Fair during school hours and it culminates with the Big Sale on parent teacher conference day.

Gift of Knowledge

Gift of Knowledge allows kids to celebrate their birthdays and donate a book to the Media Center with an exciting breakfast event that occurs before school.

Fun Run

Students participating in the Fun Run collect pledges for each lap run. This is a high energy event that the kids love as they race, dance and skip their way around the course!

Community Reading Day

Spring Street celebrates Community Reading by welcoming guest readers from the community into the school. Each class is treated to a different guest reader, which included representatives from local businesses, agencies and government.

In School Enrichment

We partner with local organizations to bring in-school enrichment programs to the school throughout the year. We have worked with organizations like Acton Discovery Museum and Tower Hill to bring interactive and hands-on STEM workshops to the students.

Teacher & Staff Appreciation

In appreciation of the amazing teachers and staff at Spring Street, the PTO hosts numerous events for them such as breakfasts and luncheons throughout the year and a full week of events for Teacher Appreciation Week in the spring.

Author Visits

Each year, the PTO facilitates a visit from local children’s book author, April Jones Prince. She conducts interactive workshops for grades K-2 and also does a presentation on “Writing a Brilliant Biography,” which kicks off the 2nd grade core curriculum biography project.
