Hello June!
Greetings Newport Families!
Happy June! We have just 20 days until it is officially summer. I wanted to provide all of our Newport Families some information as we head into the summer months.
I am beyond thankful to have served our school community as your principal and I look forward to continued growth with all of you in the upcoming school year.
PTO Monthly Update
The Newport Elementary School PTO would like to say thank you to all the students, families and staff that supported us for as we celebrate our last event with a movie night at Newport. The weather cooperated with us and we were able to view the movie outside. We look forward to beginning to plan for more events and experiences for families as a PTO for next year.
If you are interested in helping the PTO, please don't hesitate to contact us at emailnewportpto@gmail.com or by attending our monthly meetings. Please know that you don't have to dedicate much of your time! All the parents and staff on the PTO know that your time is valuable, and we understand everyone has a busy schedule, but you don't have to volunteer for every event; even just a few minutes a month could help make a difference. Every little bit helps! If you would like to donate a couple items for a fundraiser; if you know you are good at decorating for events, if you have great fundraising ideas or even just ideas to help bring families and staff closer, we are open to any and all suggestions.
