Staff Appreciation Week: May 8-12
 
Newcastle Elementary has the very best staff around! Help the PTSA show our appreciation the week of May 8th. We are so grateful for the incredible work our teachers and staff do each and every day to make our school a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow. Let's take this opportunity to show them just how much we appreciate them!

We encourage everyone to participate by sending a note of gratitude, bringing in flowers and/or thank you notes of appreciation, or simply saying thank you to a teacher or staff member who has made a positive impact in your student's life on Wednesday, May 10th.

Your PTSA will be spoiling them all week: Monday - coffee, pastries, and fresh fruit; Tuesday - Mexican Fiesta provided by TK, Kinder and 1st grade families; Thursday - Crumbl cookies, Friday - cool snacks and refreshments. Let's show our amazing staff how much we value them and all that they do!

Movie Night for TK-2nd: May 19
 
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).
