Tuesday Game Room Volunteers Needed The Game Room is new to our school and facilitated by Nami Kusunose. This is a great opportunity to allow the kiddos to experience recess in a different way. It also becomes quite popular during the rainy season! Volunteers are needed on Tuesdays from 11:45 – 1:30, 4 recess sessions. If you are gracious enough to help out, we can work on getting your student a spot while you're there! {Click here to sign up} --Thank you!

Consider Becoming A Mentor To A Newcastle Student
Did you know we have a number of Newcastle students on the waitlist for a VOICE Mentor? Volunteers of Issaquah Changing Education (VOICE) is an in-school, volunteer mentoring program that pairs caring community members with students. Mentors work one-on-one with students throughout the school year, typically for 30 minutes per week during the school day. All students involved benefit from a positive, supportive relationship with an adult role model. To learn more, visit the VOICE website {here}. You can also contact one of our Newcastle mentors, Trisha Marshall, at tsm0507@gmail.com to ask about her first-hand experience.
