Math isn’t just a school subject. It’s power. 🎬

Join us TOMORROW for a free community screening of Counted Out, the award-winning documentary about how math literacy shapes who gets access to opportunity in school, work, and civic life.

📅 Monday, Nov 2 · 6:30 p.m.
📍 Rogers High School, Newport
🎟️ Free and open to all

Have you ever been told you’re “not a math person”? This film is for you.

The screening also kicks off Building Thinking Classrooms, a new math and financial literacy initiative for Newport Public Schools. It’s made possible by an NPEF grant funded by Airbnb.

Thank you to our partners newportFILM, RI Education Collective, League of Women Voters Newport, and reNewport. See you there!

What a night! 💙 Thank you to everyone who joined us at Innovate Newport last Thursday for the 2026 Evening for Education. The room was full of energy, generosity, and a shared belief in what Newport’s public schools and students can achieve.

We were especially proud to honor this year’s recipients of the Noreen Stonor Drexel Education Awards:

🏆 newportFILM
🏆 Barbara & Jimmy Winters | Newport Housing Hotline
🏆 FabNewport

🏆: RI Computer Science Teacher of the Year | Mr. Anthony Hanos
🏆 RI Hospitality Education Foundation Teacher of the Year | Chef Matthew Reilly
🏆: Newport Public Schools Teacher of the Year: Ms. Diane McBrier

Each of them shows what it looks like when a community shows up for its students, whether that’s through storytelling, steady personal commitment, or hands-on making and learning. Congratulations, and thank you for all you do.

A heartfelt thank you as well to our sponsors, volunteers, and guests. Every dollar supports Newport classrooms, educators and students. We couldn’t do it without you!
