March Happenings
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Cabot Cafeteria's lost and found bins are overflowing with jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, hats, etc. Be sure to check out the bins to find missing items.
Fun fact: you can prevent your wares from being lost by trying out Mabel's Labels (put Cabot PTO as your reference and we get a share of the proceeds!).
Newton Community Education offers classes each term at Cabot after school! Courses currently in session include:
3D Printing, Coding, and Design
You can easily register online. If your child is in CASP, they're still able to attend; you just need to fill out a form so that CASP is aware of your child's participation.
Newton Schools Foundation hosts Trivia Night to support Newton Public Schools!
Show your school pride by bringing a team to Newton Schools Foundation’s all-new Trivia Night on Friday, March 14, 7:00-10:40 p.m., at American Legion Post 440, 295 California Street, Newton!
Enjoy refreshments and have fun while you test your wits against teams from other schools and community groups. Tickets are $40 ($240/team of six), and all proceeds will support Newton Schools Foundation.
Newton Schools Foundation (NSF) is a volunteer-run 501c3 that partners with Newton Public Schools to fulfill grant requests from educators across the district. Recent grants helped fund Take-a-Break spaces at each elementary school, new tools for language learning in our high schools, and training to improve instructional leadership and teaching practices across the district.
Since 1985, NSF has provided more than $4 million in grants to teachers and staff in all 23 of our schools, transforming the education of our students from preschool through high school.
See flyer or www.NewtonSchoolsFoundation.org for more information.
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.
