Local Unit # 2.6.18

Welcome!  Look inside for information related to the activities of the Newcastle Elementary PTSA - a non-profit organization which supports the children of Newcastle Elementary in the Issaquah School District. 

 

Through-out the school year, we sponsor several family events and student programs for our school families. We hope that all of our families will get involved by:

§  Attending PTSA events

§  Helping children participate in our educational programs

§  Volunteering time and talents in the classroom, at the school, and for PTSA supported activities

§  Becoming a member of the PTSA!

Be sure to check our calendar for information on PTSA meetings (please join us!), events, and activities.  You will also find information on becoming a member and volunteering.  If you need more information about the school, you can find a link to the school and district websites.   

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us - we are interested in hearing from you!




Time to Order School Supplies for 2010/2011 School Year

Believe it or not, it's time to start planning for next school year!  Be ahead of the game and order your child's school supply kits today.  All supply kits are teacher approved and custom packed for each student.  No running from store to store in August!  New this year is the option for 4th and 5th grade kits to be ordered with or without the required 3 Ring Zippered Binder.  Paper order forms can be returned to school up until Friday, May 21st.  Online ordering will be available from May 14 - June 14, 2010. Both options are easy, and your child's supplies will be waiting for them at the Meet Your Teacher/PTSA Back to School Picnic on August 30th.  Questions? Contact: Debbie McAllister at debbiemcallisternew@hotmail.com.

Summer Tans, New Shoes, Seeing Old Friends...
Those are just a few things that come to mind when you think of "back to school" in September.  But put yourself in the shoes of a Kindergartner or new student, and you will find you may be nervous, lost and that buying lunch is a daunting process!  We are looking for at least six "guides" for morning d/o and afternoon p/u,as well as, five lunch helpers.  These are fun jobs, especially for parents of children in Kindergarten!  If you'd like to volunteer to help during the first few weeks back to school, please contact Sharon Levy by June 1st at info@newcastleptsa.org




Thank You for Supporting May's National Teacher Appreciation Week

 

Thank you to the whole community for making this year's National Teacher Appreciation Week a wonderful one. There were many things planned and we couldn't have made it happen without your help.  A special thank you to Nichole Poletti and Kim Sherman for spearheading another fun and fabulous car wash for the staff on Friday.  They and their team of volunteers did an awesome job of cleaning close to 20 cars - which was greatly appreciated!  Thank you too to their team: David, Nori Coulon, Carla Dietz, Laura Derwin, Michelle Maresh, Jayme Benson, Weenee Crouse, Sean Nielsen, Weene Crouse, Lisa Vold and Nori Coulon.

Thank You for Delicious Teacher/Staff Luncheon!

May 4th, the Kindergarten and 1st Grade Families hosted our final staff appreciation luncheon of the year.  It was a festive Mexican/Cinco de Mayo themed luncheon and we had plenty of food for everyone to enjoy - with leftovers for the staff all week!  THANK YOU to everyone who cooked such wonderful dishes and to those who helped with set-up and clean-up.  It was a great luncheon and really showed our staff how much we appreciate them.
