You should be receiving emails this week from your room representatives regarding gifts for our fantastic teachers during the holiday season, and we would like to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the dedicated staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the success of our students. (If you do not receive an email from your class room rep, please email newcastleptsa.president@gmail.com).

From the friendly faces in the front office to the hardworking custodial and maintenance teams, everyone plays a vital role in creating a positive and enriching school experience.

This year, let's extend our gratitude beyond the classroom and consider including all members of our school staff in our holiday celebrations. A small token of appreciation, whether it's a heartfelt note, a handmade card, or a modest gift, can go a long way in expressing our thanks for their continuous efforts.

To make it easier for you to include all staff members, we've compiled a list of our staff that contribute to the success of our school:

*Remember your bus drivers too!

Your thoughtfulness will surely make this holiday season brighter for the entire Newcastle family. Remember, it's the collective effort of every staff member that shapes the positive learning environment we cherish.

Thank you for considering our entire school staff in your holiday celebrations!
