Thank you to all who joined the PTSA this school year! Our membership drive was a great success and we have achieved the Silver Membership Award by the Washington State PTA!

That means our PTSA has enrolled members equaling at least 105% of your PTA’s total membership last year. Our membership growth is integral to our mission of being a powerful voice for children. 

That means our PTA is growing! Thank you to everyone who has become a member so far this year: YOU are the reason our PTA achieved this award! If you haven’t yet signed up for a 2021-2022 PTA membership, please consider joining today! By doing so, you are demonstrating your support for our PTA and all it does for Newcastle Elementary. Link to join HERE. 

We are in need of recess volunteers! 

If you would like a link to sign-up for recess support, please email: newcastleptsa.president@gmail.com to verify you have been approved to volunteer. Thank you for your support! 

PTSA Supporting our Green Team

You may have read this in our school e-news, our amazing Green Team is helping our planet!

“Newcastle Green Team wants to send a special THANK YOU to the PTSA for funding our marker and glue stick recycling boxes! With help from Terra Cycle, we are keeping hundreds of dried-up glue sticks, markers, and pens from the landfill! Instead, they will be collected and recycled into new items like plastic bins, decking material, and outdoor furniture (to name a few). Thank you for helping to keep our school a King County Green School, Newcastle families!”

We were so thrilled to help not only our school, but the planet! Thanks for all you do to keep us aware and finding innovative ways to help, Green Team! 🌎♻️
