OurNewton.org Information

We enjoy informing residents of the myriad events happening in Newton, connecting with people for a common good-in person and on social media. How did we get started? In 2009, we and other community members gathered at the Newton Boys and Girls Club to hear about a new way to promote civic and community pride: David Crowley, President of Social Capital Inc., spoke about using his internet platform to connect schools, nonprofits, and communities and community organizations. Many of the attendees were connected to the Newton Public Schools - teachers, administrators, or PTO leaders. It occurred to us that each school was manually laboring over the similar newsletters, with similar information. Wouldn't it be great to have one place to look for all the same information? Thus, OurNewton.org was born. We've since branched out. OurNewton.org
