Last Week for the Random Acts of Kindness Challenge

Keep those submissions coming! We’ve been so excited to see the ways in which Newcastle Lions have spread kindness this month. If your student hasn’t participated yet, this week is the last chance. Every student who participates will be entered to win fun prizes! To submit, send a photo of your student’s kindness act (with name and grade) to Jessiej0608@gmail.com to be included in the yearbook. If you’re unable to submit a photo, you can send an email to newcastleptsa.outreach@gmail.com detailing the Act of Kindness or complete THIS TEMPLATE and drop it off in the folder at the front entrance of school. Find great ideas for spreading love HERE.

Submissions are due Feb. 28 by 11:59pm. The drawing will take place the week of March 1 and winners will be contacted by email.
