In the wake of the terrible earthquake that devastated the south of Haiti, schools are not able to function. Some teachers there are trying to set up classrooms under tents with limited or no materials.

Haitian American educator Nicole St. Victor, a friend of Principal Danielle Morrissey and of Early Literacy Aide Enid Wetzner, is shipping supplies directly to early education schools she has established there over the years.

All classroom supplies are welcome.  These are most needed:

• Art supplies: crayons, markers, paper, scissors, glue, paint, brushes etc.
• Math and manipulative materials; legos, puzzles etc.
• Backpacks

All items should be new or gently used.

Donations may be left in the box located in front of the Lincoln Eliot Office between
Monday September 20 – Friday September 24.
Thanks in advance for your generosity.

Boys and girls grades 1-5 are invited to join Newton Cub Scout Pack 210. Scouting is a great opportunity to make new friendships, and is also really fun, especially for new 1st grade Tigers, to experience with friends. We have an exciting year planned, with fun activities including camping, hiking, outdoor activities, community service, and monthly Den/Pack meetings. All meetings will be outdoors with modifications for COVID safety. Our kickoff meeting is on Thursday Sept. 23 at 5:30 pm at Arsenal Park in Watertown. The address is 485 Arsenal St and it will be at a covered pavilion, so it will take place rain or shine. A local veterinarian will talk about animal care and will bring a special friend. Frozen desserts will be handed out too! Please join us or email Chris (cadunham0901@gmail.com) to join and with questions. We look forward to a great Scouting year ahead!
