Honor Thy Teacher

As the school year comes to an end, are you looking for a way to say “Thank You” to the people who make a difference at your children’s schools?

Every day, each of your children benefits from exceptional teachers and staff to educate, motivate and inspire them to be the best they can be.While the impulse to thank teachers with a physical or monetary gift is a natural one, the Newton School Committee prohibits individual gifts to teachers and the State Ethics Commission limits the types and amounts of group gifts that teachers may receive.

Seventeen years ago, Newton Schools Foundation created a special campaign designed to enable parents to honor teachers by giving a gift in their name. Please consider donating to NSF’s Annual “Honor Thy Teacher” Campaign to support teachers’ efforts and honor their dedication to your children. You may also choose to honor a special education aide, a fine arts or music teacher, an administrator, a coach or counselor who has touched your child’s life.  Suggested donation is $25 per teacher/staff member.

NSF celebrates Newton Public Schools teachers and staff by:

  • Notifying honored teachers and staff of your gift
  • Listing all honored teachers and staff in the Newton TAB
  • Sharing honoree names with the Superintendent and Principals.
There are three ways to donate:
  • PayPal through www.newtonschoolsfoundation.org where you can indicate your donation and honorees
  • Send a check to Newton Schools Foundation at 246 Dudley Road, Newton, MA 02459 and indicate your honorees
  • Call NSF at 617-559-6120
Teachers and staff who are honored consider this one of the highlights of their year.  Please help support our educators by donating today.
Newton Schools Foundation is a 501 c-3 charity whose mission is to broaden community support for public education and provide private funding for innovative and challenging programs across a student’s K-12 experience in the Newton Public Schools.  All donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
