Newport Community Unites for Family Dinner at Pell Elementary
On April 10, over 125 members of the Newport community came together at Pell Elementary School for a vibrant community dinner, organized by RENEWport, aimed at families of children in grades 3 and 4. The event featured engaging activities hosted by local nonprofits, delicious dinner options, and entertaining performances, creating a welcoming atmosphere for families to connect and explore the resources Newport offers.
RENEWport Co-President Ellen Pinnock noted the importance of fostering school-community connections, stating, “These connections help build a foundation for a thriving public school system.” The evening’s highlights included a kid-friendly performance by Newport Contemporary Ballet and a singalong led by Newport Sings. Families participated in various activities, from playing colonial games with the Newport Historical Society to enjoying ice cream donated by Ben & Jerry’s.
Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain and Pell Principal Traci Westman expressed gratitude to RENEWport and participating organizations. RENEWport’s commitment to enriching connections within the community ensures that Newport’s public education system flourishes. Plans for an all-school dinner next year at Pell are already underway.
