As we approach year's end, Sterne School needs your support reaching our Annual Fund goal. In a school as small as ours, gifts at all levels make a big difference. Currently, we are at 41% of our Annual Fund goal. Will you help us reach 100%? Click here to make a donation (and make a difference!) https://www.sterneschool.org/support-us/annual-fund/support

Did you know Sterne School helped pave the way for Team Handball in California? It’s true! While popular in Europe, Team Handball is not widely known in the U.S., but that’s starting to change thanks to Sterne coaches who adopted the sport and then helped it gain traction with other Bay Area schools. Also, fun fact: Sterne School won the Cal Cup Team Handball Championship! Go Dolphins! #sterneschoolsf #makinghistory #teamhandball
