Springfield Daughters Have Mom Of The Year

SPRINGFIELD, NJ — Last week we asked you to nominate a mother who you feel should be Springfield Patch's Mom Of The Year in honor of Mother's Day.

Daughters Samantha and Jessica Miller of Springfield, nominated their mother Antoinette and shared her amazing story.

"My mom is so special to me because not only does she take care of her family, she always gives back to the community to help others. My mom has been in the PTA for about eight years now. During this time she ran end of the year dances, fall festivals and other things. She has been the PTSO President for the past two years for Jonathan Dayton and during this time she helped my senior class raise more than $18,000 that went towards are project graduation, which she also set up and organized as well. This past year she also helped the class of 2018 with their basket auction. Currently my mom is one of the leaders in the St. James Festival in town running the basket auction."

"My mom deserves the spotlight because between working countless hours and everything else she has going on, she still makes the time and effort to make sure her family is OK. She always gives back to the community even if she doesn't really have the time. My mom never says no to anything and is always there for me, my sister, and my dad no matter what. She deserves the world and an award for the best mom ever."
