Movie Night for 3rd-5th Was a Great Success!
We hope everyone enjoyed our first Movie Night in over three years! Families of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders got to watch Minions: The Rise of Gru. We had approximately 200 attendees! Jammies, blankets, stuffies, popcorn, friends...it does not get much better than that! We truly appreciate our volunteers who helped make this event the success that it was! 
 
 
Families in TK, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade, mark your calendars for May 19th for your movie night! Classes will vote for the movie of their choice the week of May 15th. Please remember this is not a drop off event and caregivers will be responsible for their student(s). 

 

Lost & Found. After the movie night, this was found. If yours, please contact Bisa Meek at bisameek@gmail.com.

STEM Night

We want to extend an invite to all TK-5 students and families to attend our upcoming Newcastle PTSA STEM Night, held May 5th from 5-7 pm in the Commons.   The event will feature interactive experiences for the students to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Vendors doing innovative STEM work will also be onsite. Blue Origin will show what’s possible in the future of space and the enabling of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of earth. Liberty H.S. Robotics club will bring their latest creation. Free pizza, compliments of the Newcastle PTSA, will be served!

Leading up to the event, students are encouraged to do their own individual or group STEM project. All participants will be entered into a prize draw for their grade. All individual or group projects completed will qualify your student to be entered into a prize draw for their grade. The sky's the limit - any projects exploring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics will be accepted. Our goals are to spark curiosity, creative thinking and HAVE FUN! Sign-up HERE. 

School Supplies for Next Year! 📚✏️🖇️ 

Newcastle PTSA has once again partnered with School Tool Box to make your school supply shopping easy! Our teachers have submitted their supply list and it’s all ready to go. 

Simply go to https://schooltoolbox.com, search for Newcastle Elementary, then select your student’s grade for next year.
