Newburyport Education Foundation

In 2024, we supported improvements in technology in several disciplines within the district. Some highlights include Chromebooks and Chromebook Carts for the Breshahan school and an auditorium projector at the Nock and Molin schools. Through these grants, we strive to provide the technology necessary for learning.

In 2024, business leaders and teachers came together with the Technology Club at the High School to create amazing learning experiences for our students provided by our investments in technologically advanced computers and software for the library, engineering, and art programs.

In 2024, we made additional equipment donations in the Newburyport Public Schools to the music programs.

In the Summer/Fall of 2024 we completed the renovation of the integrated arts center at Newburyport High School, providing all students access to equipment such as video equipment, cameras and podcast equipment for innovation and creativity using technology.

We created a wellness space for all students, Grade 4-8, at the Molin Upper Elementary School and Nock Middle School. We were able to renovate three existing, unused rooms off of the gym to create a warm and welcoming wellness space. This multipurpose space includes a small warm-up room, larger cardio/fitness area and contained yoga/mindfulness area. The Wellness Space continued its support of innovation in Wellness and Physical Education classes, counseling intervention and prevention programming, and restorative disciplinary practices.

For many years, the NEF has funded Business Partnership grants in the Spring and Fall. These grants pair teachers with business partners who then work together to create meaningful educational experiences that connect curriculum to the community at large and allow students to see how their skills apply to their community.
