Spread the Love Contest Has a Winner

After receiving over 50 entries to bring the Spread the Love Tour to schools across the Merrimack Valley and its surrounding communities, the North Intermediate School in Wilmington has been selected as the winner. In what was a very difficult decision, the North Intermediate School stood out for their dedication to the community, participating in "Coats for Kids," "Toys for Tots," "Pennies for Patients," and more. Entries from over 25 students swayed the decision. As a result, the Spinners caravan of special guests will visit the students Friday, Feb. 13 to make Valentine's Day cards to be delivered at the Billerica Council on Aging later that day. We would like to thank all of the students who entered and extend a special congratulations to Darin MacEacheron of West Intermediate for the most creative submission.
