Kindness Week
Let's all celebrate kindness this week with spirit days! Thanks to Mrs. Mutter for putting this together!
 Multi-Cultural Fair
Save the date! We are all crossing our fingers that we will be able to have this wonderful event. We will keep everyone posted as we wait to hear on the condition of the building, but in the meantime, mark your calendars!
 Report Card Feedback
On Friday last week, elementary families received their student’s report card in Family Access. With that process in mind, this is the perfect time to ask for your input into making improvements to our Elementary Report Card for next school year, 2024-25. During the fall of 2023, a committee of educators began meeting to make recommendations for improving the elementary report card. Any changes made will be for the next school year, 2024-25. Link is HERE.
Baseball Night Fundraiser! Grab your family, friends, or neighbors and spend a night watching the Seattle Mariners take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, April 27, 6:40pm at T-Mobile Park. Tickets are $25 (normally these seats start at $50!) and a portion of ticket sales goes directly back to the Newcastle Elementary PTSA. Your actual tickets will be emailed to you as the event nears. Purchase tickets HERE by March 20th, while supplies last!
Golden Acorn Award Each year, our PTSA awards the Golden Acorn to individuals who have given outstanding volunteer service to the children and youth in our school and community. The Golden Acorn is special and given for continued and dedicated service. This is an excellent way to honor our volunteers that have gone “above and beyond!" Award winners receive the Golden Acorn Award Pin and a special certificate from the Washington State PTA. The PTSA also contributes in the winners’ name to the Washington State PTA Scholarship Foundation, which provides scholarships to selected high school students entering post-secondary education. Lastly, we will celebrate the Golden Acorn winners with the PTSA Board and previous recipients in April. For more information, please click HERE. Please complete the form HERE, using as much detail as possible, to nominate someone who is making a difference in our children’s lives. The Golden Acorn Committee will make the final selections. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the committee chair, Mary Vickers, at mary.joanna@gmail.com. The committee consists of last year's recipients, Mary Vickers and Ellie Diaz. THE NOMINATION DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, MARCH 15TH, 2024. Nominations are confidential, but we ask that you provide your contact information in case we have a question.
 Join the PTSA Executive Board for the 2024-2025 School Year
Would you like to help set the direction for the PTSA? Want to be more “in the know” about what happens at school? Interested in meeting new people? All while working in service of our students? Then please consider joining our PTSA Executive Board. We’re made up of parents from all different backgrounds and experiences, just like our community. We have moms, a dad, parents who work full-time and part-time, and parents who don’t work outside the home. There’s a place for everyone. You can learn more about the various roles on the Board and the time commitment (typically less than 3-5 hours per month) HERE. If you’re interested in learning more or have someone you think would be great on the board, please contact Dana Kinghorn (part of our Nominating Committee) at dkinghorn80@gmail.com.
 Lunch for the Break
Do you need food assistance for your kids during school break? Lunch for the Break provides nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack options for children within the Issaquah School District. Registration is required! Please register online HERE. All families with children attending school in the Issaquah School District are welcome to register and attend, free of cost. Families can shop from a variety of produce, dairy, proteins, snacks and other kid-friendly breakfast, lunch and snack items.
