Dear Families,

A reminder that there is no school on Monday — hope you are all having a great long weekend!  Please join us at 6:30pm on Tuesday in the library for our PTO meeting to find out more about SEPAC (Newton Special Education Parent Advisory Council), FORJ (Families Organizing for Racial Justice), and upcoming events like the Book Fair.  Thank you to all our families who dropped off baked goods or volunteered for the Election Day Bake Sale last week, which raised $485 for programs and resources for the school.

The first graders had a fun end of the week as they took their field trip to Jackson Homestead, just down the street from us.  If you’re curious, try asking your kids about the artifacts they got to hold and what was different about life 150 years ago!

Picture Retake Day is Monday, November 19th at 9am.  For any family that would like their child to have a new picture, please send your child to school with the original pictures on retake day.  A new picture order will be mailed to the school and sent home with your child a few weeks after retake day.

Please mark your calendar:

* Monday, November 12th:  Veterans Day observed — No School
* Tuesday, November 13th:  PTO meeting from 6:30-7:30pm in the library
