As some of you know, Mr. Mignone’s father passed away earlier this month. The PTO worked with the Newton Schools Foundation to set up a way for parents who are interested to donate to the Elementary Instrumental Program in memory of John Mignone, father of Mr. Ken Mignone, to support the ensemble music program and give individualized instruction to students at Lincoln-Eliot and Horace Mann who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity for private lessons

To donate, send a check made out to Newton Schools Foundation with “Elementary Instrumental Music/Mignone” in the subject line to NSF P.O. Box 590020 Newton, MA 02459. You can also make a gift online with PayPal, accessing the donations page here: http://newtonschoolsfoundation.org/donate When filling out the PayPal form, please be sure to put “Elementary Instrumental Music/Mignone” in the Notes or Honored Teacher field and check the box to share your address with NSF so they can send an acknowledgement. NSF will send a note to Mr. Mignone letting him know about any donations in his father’s honor.
