*Baystate Textiles - Our year end total for 2024 was $1,625.58 earned from the textile bins! The white collection bins in the parking lot of Colonial Park are to collect textiles (clothing, linen and shoes). All textiles deposited in the bins are reused or recycled! Each school in Stoneham has a bin (you can also find bins at the Steven Street recycling center and behind Town Hall) and these bins are emptied weekly and weighed. Each school PTO receives an annual rebate check for the amount of textiles collected. Please check your house for textiles and support the PTO!
*PTO Meeting - Our next PTO Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 11th. An agenda will be posted as we approach the next meeting. We hope you’ll join us virtually or in person at our March meeting! Please use this link to join virtually:
