There are bunches of ways to help keep the Cabot School community a valuable and vibrant part of life in Newton. Here are a few that you may not be aware of yet...

Box Tops for Education: Download an app, scan your grocery purchases, and money goes to our program. So now when your kid gripes at you for eating their sugary cereal, you can say, with your mouth full, "Ish fow yow ebucafin."

Mabel's Labels: Put cute labels on your kid's stuff (and your spouse's and your pet's and your friends' stuff, too). Some of the proceeds make back it to us. Look, I find so many jackets and water bottles at the playground each Friday evening so I am poaching myself with excitement over this one.

Campaign for Cabot: Cut out the middle-person and just make a direct donation. It's better this way than leaving a briefcase of cash on the front steps, Becky.

5th Grade Activities: Your donations help fund the yearbook, graduation, and more. If fifth grade is this awesome, it must only get better in middle school, right?

The Cabot School PTO has plenty of opportunities for you to get involved. Click here to see open slots the you can fill! We're especially looking for a few folks to help out with fifth grade and teacher appreciation.

  Last December Cabot After School partnered with the American Red Cross to host a very successful blood drive here at Cabot School. On October 28 we’re doing it again with the assistance of the Cabot PTO and this time we are being challenged to support more patients.

  Last year we collected 58 pints of blood which exceeded our goal. It was so heartening to see our community of Cabot/CASP families and staff come together to accomplish so much good. I hope we can go even further this time. We have been assigned a new goal of 58 units but, I’m sure with your help, we can surpass that again!

  Please consider one of three ways to support this blood drive: roll up your sleeve and donate blood, support those who donate by volunteering to help check people in on the day of the drive, or support our efforts by posting to your social networks about this great community initiative. There are many ways you can help but, most importantly, we hope you come out to donate. To schedule an appointment please visit www.redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code CabotASP or Click HERE.

  Thank you in advance for helping us to make this drive a success. Let’s make an impact on October 28 by meeting this new goal. If you would like to help out on the day of the drive, please contact Alice Cunningham at alicecasp@gmail.com about joining the team.

Boys and girls grades K-5 are invited to join Newton Cub Scout Pack 210. Scouting is a great opportunity to make new friendships and learn new skills. We have an exciting year planned, with fun activities including camping, hiking, Pinewood Derby, outdoor activities, community service, overnights, and monthly Den/Pack meetings. Our Dens meet monthly on Thursday evenings at the Carroll Center in Newton Centre. Upcoming events include Pack Hike on Sept. 23, and our annual camping trip on Oct. 7--please join us for these or our upcoming Den meetings.

Please email Tom at (tom@tdwright.co.uk) with questions or if you’re interested in joining. We look forward to a great Scouting year ahead!
