As of now, we have raised $13,786 towards our goal of $30,000. While we are incredibly grateful for the generosity and support we've received thus far, we still have a ways to go to reach our target, with one day remaining!

It's important to highlight the significance of this fundraiser and where the funds go. The money raised directly contributes to the various programs and initiatives we offer at Newcastle, including:

• Teacher Grants
• LionArt
• Kinder Connect
• Book Fair
• Staff Appreciation
• Popcorn Fridays 
• Multicultural Night
• Spring Fling
• Fall Event

Now, here's where the fun comes in! If we successfully meet our fundraising goal, our beloved Principal, Dr. Wood, and our dedicated Dean of Students, Mr. Porter, have graciously agreed to take a pie to the face! Additionally, there are exciting prizes to be won for the top-performing classes.

We encourage you to get involved and help us achieve our goal. Whether it's through spreading the word, participating in fundraising activities, or making a donation, every contribution counts and brings us closer to our target.

More volunteers are needed as well! Please sign up if you’re an approved volunteer HERE. 

Let's come together as a community and make this fundraiser a success! Together, we can ensure that our school continues to thrive and provide enriching experiences for our students.

Staff Appreciation Week: May 6-10

Newcastle Elementary has the very best staff around! Help the PTSA show our appreciation the week of May 6th. We are so grateful for the incredible work our teachers and staff do each and every day to make our school a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow. 

Let's take this opportunity to show them just how much we appreciate them! We encourage everyone to participate by sending a note of gratitude, or homemade artwork, or simply saying thank you to a teacher or staff member who has made a positive impact in your student's life any day next week.on  

Your PTSA will be spoiling them all week with tastes from around the world. TK-1st grade families, be on the lookout for a sign-up for a Mexican themed lunch for Tuesday. 

For your convenience, here is a list of our support staff at Newcastle. They all work as a team to enrich the lives of our students. Let's show our amazing staff how much we value them and all that they do!
