Thank You to Our Generous Donors
Thanks to many generous families in town, SERF's recent Annual Appeal in November and ACE Award Holiday Gift Campaign in December resulted in almost $18,000 in donations. (List of ACE Award recipients.)
 
SERF is grateful for the generous contributions of these donors. 
 
We would not be able to continue to fund education grants to Sudbury Public Schools and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School without you. 
 
Thank you for your continued support!

High Praise

  

"Since arriving in Sudbury, I have been impressed with the contributions from SERF. SERF grants have been a wonderful resource for our school system, allowing the schools to pilot innovative technology, provide expanded professional development opportunities for teachers, and build on new ideas for the curriculum. We are fortunate to have the support of SERF grants which positively impact our students' education."

 

-Dr. Anne Wilson, 

Superintendent, Sudbury Public Schools
