OPERATION STAY WARM: Southington Public Schools is partnering with Southington Community Services to conduct a coat drive through the month of April. A donation container is located in our main hallway. Please consider donating your new or gently used warm winter coats. Coats should be clean and free of rips or tears. Donations will be distributed to Southington families this coming fall. In advance, thank you.

We collected over 200 boxes of pasta for the Southington Food Pantry. The 6th graders donated the most boxes of pasta, earning a week of music in the cafeteria during lunch when we return from break.

Staff Appreciation Week will be here in May. We will celebrate our staff from May 5th-9th and we need your help. For the past few years, with help from the PTO, our JFK families asked local businesses to donate and/or personally donated a variety of gift cards that were used as daily prizes during Staff Appreciation Week. This year, the PTO is again coordinating a gift card donation drive and has created a Sign Up Genius link (Staff Appreciation Gift Cards) for gift card donations for staff members.
We are accepting donations as well. All donations will support staff appreciation gifts and activities.
Please submit gift cards and donations to the office by Wednesday, April 30th.
THANK YOU to the Krantz/Schatz and Janczewski families for their gift card donations. We appreciate you!
