Thank you to the Washington Trust Charitable Foundation, for its generous donation of $1,000 to the Norwich Public Schools Education Foundation.  Tim Konikowski, a Norwich resident and Assistant Vice President at Washington Trust, directed the donation to the Norwich Public Schools Education Foundation.  We thank both the Washington Trust Charitable Foundation and Tim for their generosity and thoughtfulness.  Each and every Norwich Public Schools student will benefit from this investment in the Norwich Public Schools community.

The Norwich Public Schools Education Foundation is pleased to announce it recently awarded a total of over $5,800 in grants to Norwich Public Schools classrooms.  The Foundation awarded $2,700 for new books for seven (7) Norwich Public Schools elementary schools and two (2) Early Learning Center libraries.  The Foundation then awarded over $3,100 for grants including supporting math concepts and science discoveries in NPS Early Learning Centers; Adding materials and tools to classrooms supporting students with autism; and Munch Madness, a school-wide event supporting health and nutrition education.

The Norwich Public Schools Education Foundation has awarded over $66,600 to Norwich Public Schools classrooms since 2011.

All are welcome at the Foundation’s next meeting on Monday April 29 at 6pm at NPS Central Office: 90 Town Street, Norwich as we continue our mission of supporting student achievement and enrichment in each and every Norwich Public School student.  No contribution to this goal is too small – We welcome your thoughts and ideas!
