NEF AUCTION
The Newburyport Education Foundation Annual Lighthouse Auction is fast approaching, and we need volunteers to be Class Basket Leaders! Each classroom will create an amazing, themed basket with donations collected from parents. Baskets can range from hand-made kid crafted items to lottery ticket wreaths to a cozy winter weekend in a basket. Your help is key to making these baskets truly special. Want to help but don't have a creative idea? Don't worry, we have lots of suggestions!
Ready to dive in and help make this year’s auction unforgettable? Join us as a Class Basket Leader today!
Class Basket Leader sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054AA5A62FA4FEC34-58856204-2025#/
We still have a need for volunteers at the event and for activities leading up to the event. Please grab a friend and lend a hand! Volunteer sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0E44A9A92BA5F94-58601941-2025#/
We are also looking for donations from companies or individuals to make the auction a success. If you have sports tickets or autographed memorabilia, a home you can donate for a weekend, anything Newburyport-themed, or anything else you think could help please reach out to us at info@newburyportef.org
School Council
The Molin School needs two parent volunteers to participate on the Molin School Council.
A school council in Massachusetts is a representative committee that works together on the School Improvement Plan and the school budgets. The council is made up of parents, teachers, and community members. If you are interested, please email Principal Rossi at: trossi@newburyport.k12.ma.us. Thank you!
