Last Week to Join the PTSA and Help Your Child’s Class Win!

The PTSA does so much for our school and students and yet membership requires NOTHING of you except the payment of annual dues (as low as $15). Each GRADE that gets at least 10 new PTSA members by the end of January will win a Spirit Day. And 3 classes that end January with the greatest percentage of families signed up will win lunchtime with Dr. Wood. JOIN TODAY.  Reach out to Christine McClure at ajandchristine@gmail.com to verify your membership.

THANK YOU to Our Generous Newcastle Community!

You once again showed your generosity! Thank you for the incredible volume of donations of toys and warm weather gear during these challenging times. And THANK YOU to Heather Ackermann for coordinating the drive.

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY NEWS

Virtual Author Visit Courtesy of the PTSA! Come Take a Story Walk!

We are so fortunate to have award-winning author/illustrator Peter Brown visit with each of our Newcastle Lions on Monday, March 1! Thanks to our fabulous PTSA, every student will get to hear, see, and learn from this amazing writer. If you’d like to become familiar with his books, there will be two Story Walks on the Newcastle school campus before his virtual visit.

The first book featured is called Children Make Terrible Pets. This Story Walk will be available now through February 10th. Come by the school and see Lucy Bear’s pet adventures! We will change to book to The Curious Garden before Mid-Winter Break.

If you have any questions, please contact our school librarians, Laura Berry (berryl@issaquah.wednet.edu) or Trisha Snyder (snydert@issaquah.wednet.edu). Thank you, PTSA!
