This holiday season, we're cooking for a cause! In this four-week series, kids will roll up their sleeves for a new, hands-on cooking or baking project each week. Along the way, they'll build kitchen skills, practice teamwork, and learn about food insecurity and the challenges some families face, especially during the holidays.
If you or anyone you know in the Cabot community needs assistance with getting enough food or paying utility bills, the PTO has complied some resources to help out.
Local food resources can be found here
Reach out to Kerri Fahey, Cabot school's social worker for help with utility bills at faheyk@newton.k12.ma.us
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!
