Orange Ruler Fundraiser Our big spring Fundraiser, the Orange Ruler Fun Run, is here! This program will last two weeks, starting with our kick-off assembly today (April 15th). The Orange Ruler team has put together a fun-filled experience for our children and school that focuses on teamwork, staying active and believing in yourself. This important program will help us raise needed funds that will be used for Playworks, teacher grants, movie nights, yearbooks, Kinder connect, library support, and much more. We look forward to working together with you to help make this one of the most successful fundraisers our school has ever had! ** Please be on the lookout for the Orange Ruler parent letter and donation envelope, which will be coming home with your child today.
Yearbooks for Angel Program The Angel Program exists to support our families impacted by financial hardships. Our counselor Ms. Mutter works closely with our students and families to provide support for basic needs. Occasionally we get the opportunity to help these students in other ways that help contribute to their personal growth as a student here at Newcastle Elementary. We have identified several students that, without the support of our Angel Donors and community, family members would not be in a financial position to purchase a yearbook. If you would like to sponsor a yearbook for a student, please consider donating a yearbook HERE. Thank you in advance for your generosity. Newcastle Angel Chairs  PTSA Membership Meeting
