Stock School, winner of 2 Awards of Excellence, one for inclusion of students with special needs and the second for teaching and learning, educates nearly 270 students annually. Stock is the most amazing preschool, full of warmth and excitement!  As many as 50% of the students have mild to profound disabilities. They and their families depend on our highly specialized teaching staff, which includes therapists in the areas of speech, physical, occupational, and assistive technology. Stock’s philosophy embraces inclusion and promotes respect and improved awareness within our school and community. 

We need your help! Resources for providing our students with the ChiME music program are very limited and individual giving is the backbone of sustaining this program. Friends of Stock School Inc, a volunteer-run 501(c)3 non-profit, exists to bridge this gap in funding. Friends of Stock School Inc hosts an annual fundraiser each May, called Stockapalooza. Our event will take place at The Lone Tree Manor in Niles on May 12, 2023 from 7PM to 10PM. Monies raised provide the ChiME music program, classroom technology, STEAM, strategic initiatives that enhance the overall well being and health of all our students, and even field trips. I hope you can agree that these are valuable initiatives to improve the quality of life at school. 

Here’s how you can help. Any donations of products, services and intangible items will bolster our unique silent auction and gift baskets.
