Help Support Cabot’s Food Rescue Program

 

Cabot’s Green Team is looking for a cooler with wheels and a mini fridge approximately 30–31 inches tall to help keep rescued food fresh during transport and storage. If your family has either item in good working condition that you no longer need and would be willing to donate, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Please reach out to nuneze@newton.k12.ma.us  by Friday, November 6 if you have an item you’d be willing to donate. Your support will help the Green Team get this food rescue program up and running!

 
Donate your unwanted candy to the Halloween Candy Drive!

Help lead the PTO!

We are seeking two new co-presidents for the next term. Interested volunteers will have the opportunity to shadow the current co-presidents throughout this school year, learn how the PTO operates, and help ensure a smooth leadership transition.

If you would like to lead, contribute, and make a meaningful impact on the Cabot community, we would love to hear from you! Please contact us at

cabotpto.copresident@gmail.com

 


 

Have Something to Share?
 

Have a local event, sports sign-up, arts program, volunteer opportunity, or other community-related announcement? We’d be happy to help spread the word!

This space is intended for relevant, family- and community-focused announcements- so think local happenings and opportunities our school community might actually want to know about (and maybe save the garage sale for Facebook 😉).

Interested in including a short announcement in an upcoming newsletter? Please submit it using this form. Thanks!

 

Please note that submitting a request via the form or PTO email does not guarantee inclusion in the weekly newsletter, as space may sometimes be limited. Thank you for your understanding!
