Thank You To Our Donors
Keeping our Doors Open During the Pandemic
During a year in which most New Jersey students attended school remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, generous donations to Newark Academy’s Annual Fund allowed students to safely return to campus for in-person learning during the 2020-21 school year.
Newark Academy provided face masks and saliva test kits for weekly COVID-19 testing to students, faculty and staff. Gifts to the Annual Fund also allowed NA to purchase digital temperature screening kiosks at the school’s main entrances and add increased signage throughout the entire school to promote social distancing.
Through the generosity of donors, NA was able to spend $140,000 on HVAC maintenance to ensure there was clean and filtered air within the school. The Annual Fund also provided $250,000 in increased emergency financial assistance to NA families experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Make your gift to Newark Academy’s Annual Fund here.
