Donate in Memory of Miss Christy.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved head of school, Christy Whipple.
Miss Christy was more than a gifted educator and administrator. She was a visionary leader who dedicated her entire career to education, and not only founded NMS, but also led the school for nearly 20 years with an unwavering commitment to the hundreds of students who passed through the doors. Her vision was to ensure students felt seen, known and reached their full potential. Her impact on the school community and the greater Newport community was enormous. Miss Christy was truly the heart of Newport Montessori, and to say she will be missed is an understatement.
Though there is much grief in our school community, we will miss Miss Christy deeply, and her spirit will continue to be a guiding force for us at Newport Montessori.
In lieu of flowers, Miss Christy’s family has requested that donations be made to the Newport Montessori School Tuition Assistance Program. Donations may be made at the link below, or also be sent to the Newport Montessori School, PO Box 634, Newport, NH 03773 with checks made payable to NMS TAP.
