Give the Gift of Education

The Newton Schools Foundation appreciates your past support. As year-end is fast approaching please don’t forget to make your annual contribution. Your gift will continue to support innovative teaching and learning across all 22 Newton Public Schools.

In 2013-14, NSF’s goal is to raise $100,000. These funds will build on and enhance district-wide programs to provide for the appropriate space, technology, training and equipment needed to support initiatives and learning environments in areas ranging from science and engineering to literacy and the arts for all of our students.

The Appeal also allows the Foundation to carry out its mission, which is to raise private dollars for public education in Newton. We hope to hit this year’s target of $100,000 with your help and continue to make Newton Public Schools a leader in innovative education.

Your gift has an impact. Please donate by check or online at www.NewtonSchoolsFoundation.org. Thank you for your support!

Now she is a nationally celebrated speaker, inspiring others to join the movement for healthier homes and safer communities.
