 Good Evening Parents/Guardians and Students:

We had a great turn out for our back to school night last night. Thanks to all of our parents/guardians who attended. I hope you gained some insight into our school and enjoyed meeting our teachers.

JAZZ BAND:

“Do you play bass, piano or electric guitar? Do you want to improve your musical skills? Then audition for jazz band! Jazz band audition music is posted in Mrs Bransgrove’s room. Auditions will be held next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Stop by and look at the music and talk to Mrs Bransgrove about auditioning!”

BUY A YEARBOOK

This year, Newton will be selling yearbooks directly from our publisher, Herff-Jones.  So all yearbooks will be purchased directly from our publisher and will be delivered to students at school in May.  Yearbooks are $40, and there is a $3.99 processing fee, for a total book cost of $43.99.

NEWTON ANNUAL PTO FUND DRIVE INFORMATION:

Every year the Newton Middle School PTO holds ONE primary fundraiser…the PTO Annual FundDrive, where 100% of donations are directly deposited into the PTO account. This means there are no fees withheld by third parties, no students serving as sales force on their neighborhood streets during a pandemic, etc.This year our goal is to raise $30,000. We are recommending a donation of $150 per family – less than a dollar-a-day that our students are in school. EVERY GIFT COUNTS!

For additional information and how you can contribute please access this link.

WEEKEND FAMILY FOOD PROGRAM:

Newton and the Newton PTO have partnered with the Back Pack Society. The  backpack Society is excited to partner with our school to provide students, their families, and school staff
