Book Fair on Tues 11/23

We are so excited for our Book Fair event – Books & Bites at Night on Tuesday 11/23 from 5-7pm. This will take place outside in the overhang, so please bundle up!

The fair will also be open before and after school for shopping, and online for two weeks after the fair.

We will provide free cocoa and cookies. Pizza will be available for sale along with The Nada Cart. Pre-order ends tonight at 11:59pm – order now to secure your pickup time!  Live ordering on Tuesday night will also be available during the event.

Pre-order Nada here: The Nada Cart

We are still looking for some volunteers to help during the event to hand out cocoa & cookies, gift wrap, and help run the book fair! Older students are welcome to help during your shift, younger kids can enjoy storytime in the book corner. Or grab a friend and take turns!

Pre-Order Empanadas for the Book Fair!

We are excited to bring a yummy pop-up to LE and offer empanadas from The Nada Cart at the Book Fair on Tuesday 11/23 from 5pm-7pm. It’s really important that as many of us as possible pre-order ‘Nadas in order to ensure that the vendor has enough! Take note – they are amazing re-heated if you want extras for Wednesday to avoid pre-Thanksgiving cooking!

Please pre-order here:

Books & Bites at Night: Nov. 23!

Save the date for Tuesday, November 23: the Lincoln-Eliot Book Fair is coming!

We can’t have our usual weeklong event in the library, so instead we’re having a one-day celebration outside in the overhang!  Stop by to shop the fair before and after school that day, and then join us for a books and cookies and cocoa celebration under the stars that night from 5-7pm.  Have fun with friends, buy books for the holidays, support our school, and enjoy a cozy starlit storytime!  We hope to see you there!

Bake Sale Success!

Thank you to everyone who generously contributed to the bake sale to make it such a huge success – we made $508! From the selection of baked goods to taking extra shifts at the table, we appreciate you. It was especially wonderful to see so many new faces, connecting to one another, and connecting to the Newton community at large.

Principal / PTO Update 6.13.21

Dear families,

Don’t forget that this Friday, June 18 there will be no school in celebration of Juneteenth.  Thank you to Fhynita Brinson, parent Chris Worrell, and our FORJ liaison, Lanni Harris, for their amazing efforts to find guest readers to share Juneteenth books in every classroom this week!

We are also very excited for the Juneteenth celebration on the Lincoln-Eliot playground on Friday, June 18th, from 4-6pm — everyone is invited to come see friends, play games, and celebrate with us!

There is one more playdate this week connecting our DLA and in-person students, for our 3rd graders, on Tuesday, June 15 from 5-6pm.

And we are having our Lincoln-Eliot Virtual Celebration Day/Week starting tomorrow, Monday, 6/14 and running until the following Monday, 6/21.  This is a voluntary initiative, but we look forward to seeing pictures of LE students and staff participating in the activities throughout the week.  You can upload your pictures here — please note that all pictures will be able to be seen by the LE community and anyone with the link, and please make sure the pictures are school-appropriate photos of students, families, and friends doing Celebration Day activities!  Pictures will be available for upload and viewing until 6/23.

Click here for a slideshow of all the Celebration Day details and fun ideas!

We also wanted to share some important Summer Reminders from the School Nurse — please click on that link for information about COVID safety, medication pickup, and ways to protect against mosquitoes and ticks this summer.

Our last day of school is Tuesday, June 22, with an early dismissal at 12pm.  It’s hard to believe we only have a little more than a week left.  We hope all our scholars are enjoying their last few days of the school year!
