Bob Sondheim was a well-known figure in the Sharon community for all his involvement in town.
Fittingly, he was the only athletic director in the Hockomock League with a sailing team. If he had his way, there would have been a crew team, a surfing team, ice fishing team and probably a water polo team at Sharon High. The more time in the pool, the pond or the ocean, the better for him. "My fellow athletic directors call me 'Commodore Sondheim,' "' he said with a laugh a few years back. Bob Sondheim, the longtime swimming coach and athletic director, died Monday at age 63, way too young for a man who had given so much to so many. When Bob took over as the athletic director some 12 years ago, replacing the late Dick Corbirn, he had been working in government for people with disabilities. He was teased about being the new kid and …

Sondheim, who retired last year, died Monday, according to reports Tuesday morning.
Robert Sondheim, Sharon's former Athletic Director, died Monday, according to an announcement on the Sharon Public Schools website Tuesday morning. The cause of death was not immediately clear Tuesday. Sondheim retired in 2012 after more than a decade serving as Sharon's athletic director and as a swim coach. Sharon Patch columnist Paul Izzo weighed in on Sondheim's retirement, his contributions to the town and the search for who should fill his shoes. A roast was held in Sondheim's honor in September at Saphire Estate in Sharon, an event at which several figures, including former WBZ Channel 4 correspondent Ron Sanders and former New England Patriots quarterback Steve Grogan, spoke. Bill Martin took over for Sondheim as Athletic …
A group of about 100 students recently took part in a regular program known as a "Teen Speak-Out," in which they discuss social diversity and other issues.
About 100 students at Sharon High School recently took part in a program designed to make them "comfortably uncomfortable" as they discussed social divisions, according to a recent feature on Boston.com. The program at Sharon High School, dubbed "Teen Speak-Out," looks to address ethnicity and religion, but also looks at students to identify social divisions they see in the school, from cliques perceived judgements about socioeconomics, attitudes on drug use, and other issues, according to the report. The program reaches all of the school's 1,100-some students at one point in their high school careers unless they decide not to participate, according to Boston.com. A group of about 100 is chosen for a day-long exercise three times a year…

Editor's Note: The following was submitted to Sharon Patch by the Sharon High School swim team head coach, Jenn Iverson. The Sharon High School Swimming and Diving Team is looking to finish the season strong. Last week, the boys took wins over Foxborough and Oliver Ames. The girls beat Foxboro and lost a suspenseful meet against Oliver Ames by four points. Our meets against OA are always exciting and never a boring race. Friday's meet was nothing less.

There were close races from one side of the pool to the other. The kids were into it and the atmosphere was never stale…
