The NEF is instrumental in helping us build a vibrant, modern and engaging educational system. Investments in programs like the Waterfront Arts and Music Festival, the Investment Club and the Sailbot Competition allow us to celebrate creativity and promote student innovation. Grant programs support teacher innovation projects like Poetry Soup, Shakespeare Residency Program, and the Borrow-a-Robot Project. Annual gifts allow us to bring our Reimagine vision to life, providing resources for the Jacalyn Bennett Wellness Spaces, summer reading programs, comprehensive literacy resources, theater space upgrades, and so many more. Thanks to the NEF, Newburyport's public schools are thriving!
