Dear NPS Community,
As we move further into May, there have been a variety of events and accomplishments taking place across the district. Below are just a few highlights from events I attended over the past few weeks.
7th Annual K-12 Performing Arts Waterfront Festival
Newburyport High School Academic Awards
The High School held their 68th Academic Awards night on May 6th. The academic bronze key awards went to students that have made the honor roll three times, silver key awards went to students making the honor roll five times, and gold key awards were given to seniors that have been on the honor roll seven semesters. In addition to awards, several senior speakers reflected back on their hardships and successes throughout the last four years. All in all, it was a great community event.
Personalized Books From The Molin Family
As always, thank you to our staff, families, and community members for the support you provide to our students everyday. We are fortunate to have so many opportunities to celebrate student achievement and creativity together as a district.
Respectfully,
Sean Gallagher
Molin Family Book Program
