Dear families,

Happy June!  It’s hard to believe we only have a few more weeks left of school.  This is a particularly busy and fun week; we hope to see many of you at the 3rd grade recorder recital on Tuesday at 9am, at the PTO meeting Tuesday night at 6:30pm, and at our Lincoln-Eliot Arts Night and Spring Concert on Thursday at 6:30pm.

Walk and Roll to School Day: Thursday, June 13
Celebrate summer and the end of the school year with the Lincoln-Eliot community as we promote walking, biking, rolling, taking the bus, and carpooling to school on June 13.  Scholars will receive stickers, a giveaway, and information on staying safe when traveling to school.  This is our last walk to school day of the year, and we hope you will join us to help make it our biggest and best yet!

To volunteer to help, or for more information, please contact Wendy Lennon at 617-584-0531.

The school year is quickly coming to an end!  If you want to do something special for your child’s teacher or other staff this year, consider the Newton Schools Foundation’s Honor Thy Teacher program.  Make a donation to the foundation in the name of one or more teachers.  Notifications will be sent to each teacher honored, as well as to Principals and the Superintendent.  Their names will appear in a special announcement on the NSF website and in the Newton TAB.  Look for a flyer in your child’s backpack.  Visit our website to donate online (www.newtonschoolsfoundation.org/honor-thy-teacher) and to find out more about the programs NSF funds (http://www.newtonschoolsfoundation.org/programs-we-fund).  Your tax-deductible donation will support NSF-funded projects encompassing: art; civics; math; music; science; social and cultural studies; literature and writing instruction; and social-emotional learning.
