Brooke Brady, Newton Public Schools special education teacher, will run this year’s Boston Marathon to raise funds for Newton Schools Foundation (NSF). Her goal is to raise $5000 to support NSF-funded programs in the Newton Public Schools.

Ms. Brady, as she is known throughout the halls of Bigelow Middle School, is an avid
runner, having completed multiple half-marathons. This year’s Boston Marathon will be her first full marathon.

“I’m proud to have been chosen to run for Newton Schools Foundation,” Brady added.
“As a special educator in Newton for the past 15 years, I’ve had the opportunity to strengthen my skills and see first hand the positive impact that NSF-funded programs have on our students. The funds raised go directly to the professional development of the staff, and programs for the students.”

NSF is committed to expanding opportunities for all students in the Newton Public
Schools.   NSF-supported programs include initiatives in the areas of STEAM (science,
technology, engineering, art and math), sustainability, literacy, civics, the arts, cultural and social/emotional development, and closing the achievement gap.
