Sharon, MA - Yesterday was the first day of school in the Sharon Public Schools. The level of nerves and anxiety was probably the same here as it was in most other places starting school. However, one place that really stands out for what they accomplished yesterday is the Sharon Middle School. In June, construction started on a 68,750 square foot addition to the school. Completion is expected in early 2011. During the summer months, the Middle School administration shared space at Sharon High School.

What I saw was construction crews and school staff committed to getting the building ready for students. P... 09/01/2010

You're so good at making matches between people. It's the same kind of thing." Hmm...real estate. I had never considered it before. Let me explain about the "making matches" part. Over the past 17 years, I have had the wonderful pleasure of introducing 7 ... 08/27/2010

For example, I grew up in Sharon, lived here until I got married, moved away and came back with my husband four years later. One day when we first moved back, I went to the Sharon Public Library to get a new library card under my married name.
