All About the Fox Point Sunset Road Race
The Fox Point Sunset Road Race is the primary fundraiser of the Newington School Supporters. We are a group of dedicated Parents, Teachers, and Administrators. Our mission is:
To provide a forum to enrich, support and facilitate communication and interaction between parents, teachers, and administrators.
Our goals are to insure good communication within the Newington Public School community and to facilitate and encourage opportunities for enrichment. This is accomplished in a variety of ways; from organizing and funding and Artist-in-Residence program, supporting the schools technology plan, to providing programs and funding to enrich and support the curriculum at the Newington Public School.
The Newington School Supporters are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a small group supporting a small K-6 school. Fundraising at a small school can be difficult. Most school fundraising programs involve students and parents buying or selling items or food from catalogs. With a limited number of families these fundraisers prove difficult as we cannot always meet minimum order requirements that these fundraising companies set for their programs. The Fox Point Sunset Road Race has become our single largest fundraiser for the Newington Public School. Held the first Saturday after Labor day, this race has provided funding for the Newington Public School's technology program, helped purchase new playground equipment, supported visits from local authors, and has funded the Artist-in-Residence Program as well as other smaller programs during the school year. Support of the annual Fox Point Sunset Road Race is integral to support our goal of facilitating and encouraging opportunities for our children's academic enrichment.
