NPS Calculus Project Receives Belmont Savings Bank Grant

The Newton Schools Foundation received a $4,000 grant from the Belmont Savings Bank Foundation to support The Calculus Project, an NPS program to narrow achievement gaps in mathematics by increasing the number of low-income African American and Hispanic American students enrolling in and completing Calculus in high school.  The grant will support four students in the program.  This grant is part of a charitable endeavor in which the Belmont Savings Bank Foundation has distributed $30,000 to various Newton non-profit organizations according the results of a poll of Newton residents.
