Calling all Angels!
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. Please send an email to MutterK@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.  Have YOU joined for this school year yet?
Car decals for all who join! 🐾 Do you have to volunteer your time to be a member? NO! Becoming a member is as easy as paying the $15-25 membership fee and that’s it. Should you wish to volunteer, we would love to have your support there as well. Join HERE today! The Newcastle Elementary PTSA is a non-profit organization which supports the children and families of Newcastle Elementary School within the Issaquah School District. In partnership with families, the community, teachers, and staff, we provide the funding, programs, and volunteers to enrich the educational experience for every child.
