Although we still have many more beautiful summer days ahead, your friends here at Newton Neighbors have already turned our attention to the new academic year coming up in September. We are working with Newton Public Schools social workers to ensure that all of our students can begin the year with the basic tools they need for success. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

The drive continues through August 4.
