by Leave a Comment

Schofield School, WellesleySchofield Elementary School invites all runners to the 5K Road Race and Fun Fair on Sunday, June 2nd.  Registration and Check-in begin at 8:00am, and race time is at 9:30am sharp. The Kids Fun Run follows at 10:30am. The fantastic fair on the school playground goes from 10:45am – 12:45pm. For the past 25 years, adults, teens, and children alike have enjoyed running the 5K Schofield Road Race, a USATF certified challenging course, featuring three main hills and finishing on a downhill.  The Road Race is unique in that all ages can participate at the same time, with many families training together in the weeks leading up to the event.  On race day they start on Cedar Street and run side by side along the shady, tree-lined streets in the Poets’ Corner neighborhood of Wellesley finishing back at Schofield to enjoy the children’s fun run around the field and fun fair. T-shirts included for the first 300 registrants. Registration fee is $30. Proceeds benefit the Schofield PTO.

The Wellesley House & Garden Club will hold its annual geranium sale on Saturday, May 4, 7am – 11am, at the Captain Marden’s parking lot and at the books drop-off area at the Recycling and Disposal Facility.

The club, which is celebrating 60 years of digging in the dirt, puts all the proceeds toward maintaining the butterfly gardens at three of Wellesley’s elementary schools — Hunnewell, Upham, and Schofield.

Last year the club raised over $2,000 for plants, mulch, and other materials needed to maintain the gardens.

Shopper's Corner, Schofield Elementary School, WellesleyShopper’s Corner, Schofield Elementary School’s PTO-run resale boutique located in the lower level of the school is re-opening on Wednesday, September 12, 8:30am – 12:15pm after its annual summer hiatus. Stop by and shop a wide selection of new and gently used clothing and shoes from infant to adult, accessories and sports clothing, including skates and cleats, all at rock-bottom prices.

Cleaning out your closets? Then don’t miss Curbside Collection Day on Wednesday, September 26, 8:10am – 8:40am. Just bring any men’s, women’s or children’s clothing (fall or winter) or shoes donations (rip and stain free) to drop-off and a SC volunteer will come and take it out of your car for you. 

Established in 1954, Shopper’s Corner stocks its inventory through consignments and donations. All of this thriftiness translates into almost $10,000 every year to the Schofield PTO. I’ve scored more that a few great things over the years from Shopper’s Corner, for both myself and the kids. They’ve got a private dressing room and friendly parents working the register, all in the name of stepping up and helping out the PTO and its great programs.
