Middle school student field trip to Gillette Stadium

SBCEF supports 8th grade STEM field trip

Last month, the Stoneham Central Middle School eighth graders visited Gillette Stadium. The students were brought into the stadium where they were able to see some of the new construction, including a brand new video screen as well as improvements to the famous lighthouse beyond the end zone.

After the stadium, students participated in a hands-on STEM activity and were able to tour the Patriots Hall of Fame to view memorabilia as well as play interactive games. Overall the trip was a success, and students really showed off their engineering skills.

This trip was made possible through support from the SCMS PTO and a grant from The Stoneham Business and Community Foundation (SBCEF) . SBCEF is a non-profit organization formed to develop a partnership among Stoneham's citizens, educational community, and business sector. Its goal is to promote the personal and educational growth of the town's youth. This organization has generously sponsored many wonderful events at Stoneham Central Middle School throughout recent years, for which we are very grateful.
