Thank You to Those Who Joined Our PTSA Meeting Ali Bligh was elected Co-Treasurer; Standing Rules were approved; Final 2020/2021 PTSA Budget was approved. Thank you to Alex Norton and Kailey Mutter for sharing information on Social/Emotional Support for our kids and to Dr. Wood for taking the time to answer all of our questions about hybrid learning.
The Lionbrary Book Exchange Is Here! Could your kids use some new books to read? Have kids’ books you’d like to donate? Well the Newcastle Book Exchange is live! Round up your books from home and bring them to the Lionbrary cart located in front of the school. Place your books in our book return and take any books off the cart for your reading pleasure (but you don’t have to bring books to take books). The PTSA will replenish the cart as needed. Please note: This is NOT for our school library books. For those needing assistance in receiving books directly to their homes, please reach out to Kailey Mutter: kmutter@issaquah.wednet.edu, or your PTSA Outreach Team: newcastleptsa.outreach@gmail.com. See flyer for details.
