Teacher Appreciation Week is very soon, May 2-6!!  If you would like to recognize a special teacher or staff person at your child's school, please consider honoring them with a STAR certificate from the Somerville Education Foundation. You may purchase a STAR at a price you choose from $20-$200. Each recipient receives a beautiful certificate with your name and a personal message.

Your donation will be used towards SEF's Innovation in Education Grant Program that provides our children's schools with funding  to develop and implement innovative instructional methods, acquire additional teaching materials as well as pilot new technology and community partnerships in the classroom.

Year-round Learning

Provide financial support that will enable all of Somerville's children and young people to benefit from enhanced learning experiences that will enable them to reach their full potential by 
  • Encouraging the development of innovative instructional methods, the acquisition and use of enriched teaching materials, and the piloting of new technology and community partnerships in the classroom.
  • Expanding access to high-quality out-of-school time programs for all of Somerville’s children and young people.

Applied Learning

Each generation, some individuals and families work hard to help build community and advance learning. The Somerville Education Foundation, founded in 2017, brings those energies together formally under one umbrella. A city-wide foundation can pool resources, raise more funds and more effectively advocate for education in Somerville.
