  • SPF Super Sports Saturday January 11

    The Scotch Plains - Fanwood School District, SPF PTA Council and SPF PTAs are excited to announce the upcoming SPF Super Sports Saturday, taking place on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School!

    Last year, SPF PTA's embarked on a new tradition for the Scotch Plains-Fanwood community to provide an enriching day of fun and sports for the community. The day featured a wide range of activities including thrilling Varsity boys and girls basketball games, wrestling matches, and sports clinics for students, a vendor fair and delicious breakfast and lunch services. The event was immensely successful and over 200 children attended the introductory sports clinics. 

    This event is not only about fun and sportsmanship; it’s about making a difference in the lives of our students and community. All proceeds support PTA Council scholarships.
