We’re excited to share that the Newton Education Foundation has provided a grant to purchase a new listening center for Ms. Brewer’s Pre-K classroom. Grant funds will be used to purchase a Toniebox2 Audio Player, three additional story characters, comfortable seating for our new listening center, and approximately 20 books in English and Spanish, to go with the Toniebox characters. Listening to stories read aloud helps young children to develop a love of reading and become lifelong readers. By using our new listening center, our students will learn how to handle books properly, turn the pages, and track words from left to right, top to bottom. We are excited to offer our Pre-K students this amazing opportunity!

Good day parents and guardians! My name is Josh Howard, and I am the music instructor at Heard Mixon Elementary School. I am excited to announce that the Newton Education Foundation has generously awarded a Teacher Innovation Grant to the music program totaling over $2900.00! The funds will be used to purchase a set of new ukuleles for fourth and fifth grade students to use for performance and composition projects. I am thrilled that the children at Heard-Mixon will get a chance to discover the joy that comes from being able to create memories of learning songs and exploring opportunities to write their own with such valuable, tangible tools as ukuleles.
