A Message to Friends of Stockton Unified
Dear Friend of Stockton Unified,
We are pleased to announce the re-launch of the Stockton Unified 1852 Foundation. This nonprofit organization has partnered with the Community Foundation of San Joaquin and refined its mission to provide financial support for academic opportunities that fall outside the District's general fund.
These opportunities include participation in academic pentathlons and decathlons, Mock Trial competitions, science and STEM tournaments, literary contests, and other activities that promote student achievement.
We invite you to join us in supporting Stockton Unified's nearly 39,000 students. Together, we can provide meaningful experiences that help prepare students for success and strengthen our community.
