April Happenings

Most presentations run 60-90 minutes. Think of it as chaperoning an in-school field trip. It is a unique opportunity to be in Cabot School and learning alongside your children.
Upcoming presentations include:
1st Grade: 3/28 - Discovery Museum
5th Grade: 4/4 - Discovery Museum
Kindergarten: 4/7 - Mass Audubon
2nd Grade: 4/8 and 4/9 - A Day in Ghana
3rd Grade: 4/11 - Discovery Museum
and more....
If you wish to volunteer please reach out to us at: cabot-cas@newtonptocouncil.org. All volunteers need to submit a CORI / SORI form to the main office. We really hope you can join us, without you, these presentations couldn't happen.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring clear communication regarding attendance.
My name is Kathryn Teissier du Cros. I’m a Cabot mom and French teacher at North. I also organize the high school’s French exchange program.
We are reaching out in hopes of finding a host family for our two fabulous teachers from Marseille, France coming to NNHS from March 29 through April 13.
Hosting a teacher is relatively easy as they are very independent and have a pretty busy schedule! Ideally, we’re hoping to find them a host who has 2 separate bedrooms and is within walking distance to the high school. That being said, if you’re interested and able, you can certainly host just one teacher!
Please reach out if you have any questions. nnhsfrenchexchange@newton.k12.ma.us
To all the parents of current kindergarten students:
To introduce myself, my name is Heather Lockrow, and I'm the Girl Scout Troop leader for Daisy Troop 63349 in Newton. I'm writing because our Troop is still on the smaller side (we just had our first meeting in February), and we have plenty of room to grow! I would love to add additional girls to our Troop.
In terms of logistics, our Troop meets approximately two Thursday evenings a month, from 5:30-6:30, in Auburndale. There are also potentially some other events/meetings that we will have off site, but this is roughly what you'd plan on in terms of time commitment.
To answer the two big questions you might have:
To sign up your daughter, go to the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts website, and make sure to register for Troop 63349. Or, contact me for help!
We are not going to sell cookies this year, largely due to timing...and I need to recruit someone ELSE to be cookie parent next year :)
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to me at hlockrow@gmail.com, or 716-982-1195.
