“Every student benefits from an adult, especially a teacher, who cares about them and offers support and encouragement. Access to a mentor, to enrichment opportunities, and to college and post-graduate options for some of our vulnerable students can make all the difference. Thank you to the Needham community for generously supporting our students year after year".
Daniel E. Gutekanst, Superintendent, Needham Public Schools
