Newton Knight Out:
Thanks to everyone who came out for our Bad Daddy's Burger Bar night.  Together we raised over $850.00!  Our next Community KNight will be Tuesday, October 16th at the Garlic Knot at Arapahoe and Holly from 4pm to close.  Mention Newton and 25% of your dine in, carry out or delivery order will support our pledge drive.  Hope you can join us!

Newton Pledge Drive:
We are in the home stretch of Newton’s Annual Fund Drive!!  To date, we have collected $20,057.  We have less than three weeks to meet our goal of $30,000.

To encourage participation in the Fund Drive, the PTO has proposed a lunchtime concert for all students.  If the PTO meets its goal of collecting $30,000 by October 31st (and we reach at least  a 50% participation rate by that date), the local band Nasal Moose Saliva will perform at all three student lunches.  As an added bonus, Mr. O’Tremba, Mr. Wykhouse and Mrs. Rahne will perform as backup dancers.  Hopefully this is just the incentive you have been waiting for!!  If you haven’t contributed yet, please consider giving today.

You can click here to make a donation via Paypal today.  You can also bring your check or cash to the main office at Newton.  The suggested donation amount is $125 per student, but any amount that fits your family budget is appreciated.  Detailed information about the Annual Fund Drive, including the Paypal link, is available on the Newton website under NMS PTO Fund Drive.  Thank you for supporting the Newton PTO!
