Harvey Luft, vice president with Tucker Anthony Inc., has been selected to help implement financial planning education to Newtown High School students through a specially designed curriculum.

The NEFE High School Financial Planning Program is intended to supplement coursework for tenth grade students at Newtown High School. The program will be held on Wednesdays, March 21 and 28, and April 4 and 11, from 7 to 9 pm.

The NEFE program is a dynamic yet practical three-session educational program, developed with the mission to reach, inform, and educate as many high school students as possible throughout the nation in the fundamentals of good, sound money management skills and the basic concepts of financial planning.

The program was developed by National Endowment for Financial Education, based in Denver, Colorado, and is provided as a public service. The goal is to help students in the financial planning profession to instill in young people the essential concepts of personal finance, enabling them to cope with the strong economic pressures of todayâs changing society. NEFEâs program seeks to increase the financial literacy of the nationâs youth, empowering them to make positive and sound decisions to reach their financial goals.

Additional information about NEFE High School Financial Planning Program is available from Harvey Luft at 888-909-9314.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The Plastic Problem

Margaret ‘Peggy’ Elizabeth Annett (July 31, 1943-April 26, 2025)

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
