Celebrating educators is one of the most meaningful parts of this work, and it was inspiring to see so many incredible teachers recognized for their impact, dedication, and heart for our students.

A special congratulations to Deshanna Honore of Hodges Manor Elementary on being named the PPS Citywide Teacher of the Year! 🎉

We’re grateful for every PPS teacher who shows up every day to remove barriers, open doors, and create opportunities for our students. 💛💙

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us at the Portsmouth Schools Foundation Donor Appreciation Night! ✨

We are so grateful for the dedicated individuals, organizations, and community partners who continue to support Portsmouth Public Schools through your time, generosity, and commitment. ❤️💛💙

Even though not everyone could attend, we had a wonderful turnout and so many uplifting conversations about what’s possible for our students. One message shared throughout the night was this:

💬 “Imagine what we can do if we continue to work together — sharing resources, ideas, and opportunities. When local leaders, educators, and community partners unite, the ripple effect reaches every child in every classroom.”

That vision is truly the heart of our work.

As we move forward, we look forward to growing these partnerships and welcoming new ones as we continue working side-by-side to support PPS students and staff. 🤝📚🌟

Before you leave this post, we encourage you to stay connected with us.
Think about how your organization, your department, or even you personally might partner with PSF in the months ahead. Together, we can create meaningful, lasting impact for Portsmouth’s students. 🎓✨

📚✨ ✨📚

For Read Across America Day, students at Brighton Elementary had a special visit from WAVY TV 10 and U.S. Navy sailors, who spent the day reading and reminding our students just how much their community believes in them.

The Portsmouth Schools Foundation was proud to support this event, ensuring every child left with a new book to take home. In a city as deeply connected to the military as Portsmouth, moments like these show our students that they are valued, supported, and celebrated.

We’re grateful for our community partners who continue to enrich classrooms and inspire young readers across Portsmouth!
