The Newton Schools Foundation will hold its second annual Newton Inspires—An Evening of Ideas and Community, November 14, 7-9:30 p.m. at Newton South High School.

NPR’s “On Point” host Tom Ashbrook, novelist and writer Anita Diamant, Boston Globe movie critic Ty Burr, and Defending Jacob author William Landay will join 14 other accomplished and prominent Newtonians to share their passions and answer questions about a variety of topics ranging from arts and entertainment, through sports and science, to business and politics.

This free event is the NSF’s  way of giving back to the community that generously supports us so we can support Newton’s students by bringing innovative programs and services to the Newton Public Schools.  The event is free but space is limited and filling up fast, so register on the NSF website today or call 617-559-6120.
