📚 Public Education: Secure Storage Table at Stoneham Town Day
Looking for Secure Storage Saves Lives tablers in Stoneham on Saturday, 9/21! For the third year in a row, the Stoneham Police Department will share their space at Stoneham’s Town Day, a signature event that showcases the town’s business, recreation, artistic, cultural, and non-profit organizations. As many as 10,000 people attend! Because SPD shares the space, we can table for free.
In March 2023, the Stoneham School Committee passed a Secure Storage Resolution, and the superintendent has sent emails to all district families about the importance of secure storage. Tabling at Stoneham's Town Day is a way to keep the conversation about secure storage going with Stoneham residents and neighbors.
