NEED

NEED NEED runs a grant based program for Norton Public School teachers for innovative projects and technologies not covered by the regular school budget.

NEED is a non-profit community foundation chartered to fund innovative educational programs and/or technology for the Norton Public Schools. Each year, NEED will award grants that make learning come alive for hundreds of public school students. NEED will fund grants for projects ranging from those that focus on traditional academic subjects, to others in the visual and performing arts, to science

and technology, as well as to programs that promote multi-cultural and community learning experiences. The foundation encourages programs that enhance standard curriculum in order to benefit Norton Public School students. However, NEED grants do not underwrite basic school budget items. NEED welcomes monetary donations to fulfill our mission. NEED is a 501(c)3 organization and is able to accept matching corporate funds.

We did a thing!

In the last 24 hours, with the help of our president who happens to own a bakery ( ) we packaged just over 500 cookies that are being delivered as you read this to the 5 schools (and the administration office & transportation office) here in Norton. Every teacher, paraprofessional, custodian, kitchen staff, bus driver, etc. that work for Norton Public Schools will get a homemade brown butter chocolate chip cookie to start their Monday. We hope it makes them smile!

Thank you NPS staff for all you do! Hope your Monday is off to a SWEET start!
