The Sudbury 250 Committee convened on December 4, 2024, to discuss progress on community engagement initiatives, particularly an upcoming essay competition aimed at celebrating the town's history. The meeting followed a virtual discussion with representatives from Lincoln-Sudbury, including the superintendent and school committee members.

Committee members agreed to launch an essay competition, drawing inspiration from a similar initiative previously conducted by Concord School. The deadline for submissions has been set for April 19, a date chosen for its symbolic significance. The committee plans to finalize the competition's wording and establish a review panel composed of members from both Sudbury and Lincoln, including teachers and community members.

Additionally, the Sudbury 250 and Lincoln 250 committees are expected to present their plans to the Lincoln-Sudbury school committee in late January or early February. This collaboration aims to foster community involvement and celebrate the shared history of the two towns.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to keep communication open with the Sudbury Public Schools Parent-Teacher Organization, ensuring they are informed about the ongoing developments. The committee's efforts reflect a proactive approach to engaging the community in the upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations.
