Move Newton Forward is advocating for the $12 million override for our schools and city services. With this money, Newton schools can continue to provide the high quality education we all value and expect -- plus can improve such necessary areas as technology and building maintenance. We need volunteers to help reach voters with a variety of activities including holding signs, hosting house parties, contacting friends and other community members, etc. If you feel strongly about public education here in Newton and want to help ensure that our children get the best possible education our city can give, then volunteer by contacting our Cabot School Coordinators Sarah Hemphill at <A href="mailto:enidlevangie@yahoo.com"><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,253)">sarahhemphill@rcn.com</SPAN></A> or John Kett at <A href="mailto:johnakett@gmail.com">johnakett@gmail.com</A>.<SPAN style="COLOR: black"> </SPAN></div>
