NewportFed sponsored PPEF’s second annual “Teacher of the Year” award. Nominations were accepted in the month of May. Nomination forms were available online on PPEF website and were available at NewportFed’s Portsmouth Branch. PPEF is proud to announce that this year’s Teacher of the Year recipient is Ms. Cheryl DelSanto, a Portsmouth Middle School teacher. She received a $1000.00 unrestricted grant reward from PPEF at the Teacher’s orientation meeting.
Grant recipients from last school year will also get to showcase their projects in the upcoming Fall Social on October 22, which will be held in Green Valley Country Club in Portsmouth. This event is open to the general public and hosts a silent auction to raise additional funds for future grants.
PPEF would also like to welcome three new board members to PPEF: Kathleen Beebe, Marilyn Brockway and John McDaid. PPEF also welcomes three returning board members: Mary Foley, Donna Manning and Deidra Ricci. They bring tremendous talent to our organization and we look forward to a strong future with their contributions.
