In honor of National Registration Day on September 24, 2019, LWVN, the Center for Civic Education, and the City’s Health & Human Services Department participated in a week long effort to inspire civic engagement and voter participation by encouraging high school students to register to vote.
So let’s congratulate and thank Sharyn Roberts for her leadership and the team who worked to register 114 students at both Newton North and Newton South High Schools:
This was a wonderful example of a community collaboration to engage students to become active participants in our democratic and electoral process.

Thanks to LWVN Voter Registration Chair Sharyn Roberts and to Tami Roberts for braving the warm temperatures to register voters at Newton’s July 4th festivities at Albemarle Field. They registered 7 voters on the spot, with three more in process. Thanks as well to Paula Gannon and Lori Lass of the Newton Cultural Arts Center for their leadership of the July 4th event!
