Gift-A-Book
Help keep the library stocked with hardcover books, while recognizing your child or loved one! A donation to Gift-A-Book will give your child recognition in a special display in the library area, bookplate personalization in the selected book, and the opportunity to be the first student to check out the selected book from the library. Donations are tax-deductible and can made online HERE until Friday, October 7th. If you donated during EVP, your information is on file and your child will be contacted to select a book. Please see the flyer HERE. Questions? Contact Debbie Park at parkave@gmail.com.
Picture Day Volunteers
Newcastle Parents! Here's your opportunity to volunteer on Picture Day coming up on Thursday, October 13th. To help make this day as smooth as possible for the teachers and photographers, you can help check clothing, hair, and face are neat, tidy, and clean. Please ensure that you are approved to volunteer through the district BEFORE signing up HERE.
Principal Chat We are excited to be bringing back Principal Coffee Talk with Dr. Wood! It will take place on Friday, September 30, from 9:30am - 10:30am. Please sign in at the front office, then join Dr. Wood in room 162. Parent Survey We value your feedback! Please take a few moments to complete our survey to better determine the needs of our community. Your voice matters! Link to the survey can be found HERE and available until Friday, September 30th.
Additional Volunteer Opportunities The PTSA needs YOUR help to run successfully and bring great programs to our students! Please consider volunteering for one or more of the following: Staff Appreciation Chair: If planning a family event is outside your comfort zone, but you love to plan parties, then Staff Appreciation is for you! Lead a group of volunteers to come up with ideas and events to show the staff and teachers how much we care. Book Fair Chair: The Book Fair is very well coordinated by Scholastic. They execute an informational webinar and everything is online. They have streamlined the process so it is very easy. This person will be responsible for helping coordinate the volunteer cashiers and helpers. It's a short term job, but a busy one. Lion Art (2-3 Chairs): Work with LionArt Chair to schedule and help facilitate art projects for the classroom. Winter Family Event/Multi-Cultural Event: Do you love when kids discover something new? Then be a part of the Winter Family Event! We need a chair person that can plan, promote and coordinate the winter event. Movie Night Chair: We are looking to host a drive-in theater 2-3 times this year. Volunteers will be needed to promote the event, help with set-up and take down, run concessions. After School Programs Chair: Help us facilitate with vendors to have after school programs available to our students. Popcorn Chair: Coordinate the corn popping on Fridays and delegate a schedule to the volunteers. Please contact Janis Yu at newcastleptsa.volunteers@gmail.com if interested in volunteering for any of the chair positions. Tennis Balls Tennis balls keep disappearing! The kids love playing with them at recess, but alas they are easy to lose. If you have any you would be willing to donate, please drop them off at the front office. We truly appreciate your support!
Spirit Wear Fridays Every Friday we encourage everyone to wear their spirit! It can be Newcastle Spirit Wear, anything green/yellow, or your favorite sports team!
