 Angel Program
Did you know that Newcastle Elementary has an Angel program that exists to support our families impacted by financial hardship? Our school counselor assists these families in identifying community resources. Volunteers within Newcastle Elementary fulfill additional family requests. Each of our families/students and volunteers remain anonymous.
Be Brave.
Privacy of all requests will be respected. From a winter coat to school supplies, rain boots to a birthday gift, our substitute school counselor, Carla Geraci, is available to help in a time of need. Email GeraciC@issaquah.wednet.edu or call (425) 837-5817.
Be an Angel. Become an Angel Donor.
Angel Donors directly impact the health and well-being of Newcastle students. Anyone can be an Angel Donor by shopping, purchasing and/or delivering requests. Email newcastleptsa.angel@gmail.com for inquiries.
Be a Model.
Demonstrate to your student the importance of giving and receiving. Be the foundation and build a stronger community.
Month of November Gently Used School Spirit Wear Drive!! Many of us have outgrown school spirit wear lingering in our kids' closets! The month of November we will have a box outside the front of the school accepting donations of gently used school spirit wear! These Newcastle Elementary spirit items will be available for our counselor to provide to students who may need a change of clothes at school or a little school spirit in their closet!
 Lunch/Recess Volunteers Lunch/Recess support is still a great need! Please consider volunteering if you are able. Remember, you must be approved through the district to volunteer at school. We recommend you do this immediately as it is taking a couple of weeks for the processing of applications. Link to submit your application is HERE. You can sign up for lunch/recess support HERE. Thank you!
