Accomplishments

What have we accomplished in 2009

While it has been a challenging year for the economy the Stoneham Public Schools Foundation has continued to receive strong support from the Stoneham  Community.  This year the Foundation has contributed to programs in the High School, Middle School and Elementary Schools.

In the Elementary Schools we have sponsored the Instrumental Music program for the first half of the year.  This has allowed all students, in the participating grades, the chance to take free instrument lessons for the first half of the year before having to pay part of the cost for the second half of the school year. This is our second year providing support for this program.

For the Middle School the foundation has again sponsored the intramural program for our third year.  This program is open to all Middle School students and provides after school activities for interested students.

At the High School our support has been more for academic programs and equipment.  For the second year now we have been able to provide funding in support of equipment needs for the Math  programs. This was made accomplished by community donations and a generous grant from IBM made possible by an IBM employee who lives in Stoneham.

While we start to look forward to the next school we hope we can count on your continued support.
