OXFORD - Pumpkin Shell Nursery School, a prominent community-focused entity, is thrilled to announce its upcoming Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser, promising an evening of delectable flavors and shared moments.

Join us on December 14 at The Oxford Legion (17 S Washington Ave) from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for a delightful evening of food and fun that the whole family will enjoy!

Dinner attendees can look forward to a scrumptious feast featuring our signature spaghetti, perfectly cooked and generously paired with a selection of rich, savory sauces. Guests will also enjoy a homemade cookie, side salad, and roll, making for an unforgettable meal.

We're excited to add a festive twist this year—Santa will be joining us. Families will have the opportunity to take photos with Santa as they pick up their meals or dine in. This is a wonderful chance to create lasting memories with your loved ones while supporting a great cause.

"We are excited to bring the community together for an evening of good food, great company, and a chance to support Pumpkin Shell's students," said Ashley Paul, Program Director at Pumpkin Shell. "The Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser is not just about satisfying your taste buds; it's about fostering a sense of community and contributing to the positive impact we aim to make in Oxford."

In addition to the culinary delights, the event will feature a 50/50 raffle and a donation jar to support Pumpkin Shell's mission and ongoing projects. Proceeds from the Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser will directly contribute to Pumpkin Shell's Preschool Program, which is driven to provide child-centered developmental learning, where young children can build emotional, social, and intellectual skills.

Meals for the Spaghetti Dinner are priced at $12 for dine-in ($14 for take-out), with children's ages 12 and under available for just $8. Pumpkin Shell encourages the community to come together, share a meal, and make a positive impact on our local community.

We are immensely grateful for the ongoing support we receive from individuals, businesses, and community partners who share our commitment to child-centered developmental learning. With donations from member families and local supporters, including Nina's Pizzeria in Norwich, Stadium Bar  + Grill and Roma's Pizzeria in Oxford, we are empowered to make a meaningful impact.
