 Fall Festival THIS Friday! This event is provided by the Newcastle PTSA free of charge. We need some volunteers for our upcoming Fall Festival, taking place at Fletcher Farm on Friday, October 27th. The Fall Festival is a great opportunity to come help out and enjoy a fun filled evening on the farm. When: Friday, October 27, 2023 Where: Fletcher Farm (18712 SE May Valley Rd, Issaquah, WA 98027) Time: 5:30pm – 8:00pm (set-up between 5:30pm – 6:00pm) Registration. Volunteers are needed to assist our high-school volunteers as they check people in and hand out glow sticks. We are also collecting $25 gift cards to Amazon, Fred Meyer, or Target that we will donate to the Issaquah Food bank to help families provide gifts for their children during the holidays. Activities & Photo Station. Volunteers are needed to assist with activities inside Fletcher Farm. This will mainly be helping the high-school volunteers with farm activities and taking pictures at the photo stations placed throughout the farm. Parking Lot. Volunteers are needed to help direct traffic in the parking lot. It gets pretty dark and we need to make sure everyone is safe. We will provide safety vests but would love volunteers to bring their own flashlights. If you would like to volunteer, please reach out to our Fall Festival Chair, Nathalie Aholt, directly at nathalieAholt@gmail.com.

We are at the tail end of our membership drive! Many classes have gone up in percentage and so far, Ms. Afman's Kindergarten class leads the pack with over 90% membership! Congrats to these students on earning their time to silly string our principal, Dr. Wood!
 We will have classroom experiences for classes that reach the following percentages:
Here are the top classes as of today. There is still time! The Membership Drive ends on Friday, 10/27.
Has your student been telling you about Playworks? Playworks provides essential opportunities for children to explore their imaginations, connect with other kids, and stretch and grow. Through service, Playworks AmeriCorps members create a place for every kid on the playground to feel included, be active, and build valuable social and emotional skills by organizing games during and after school.
