Everyone is a part of PTO!
If you are a parent or guardian or even a grandparent of a Northside student, then you are a part of our Northside PTO! It takes all of us to help make Northside the BEST school. This newsletter contains important information about upcoming activities and ways we need your help to make all of these activities a success. Please pour yourself a cup of coffee and take a few minutes to read through this important newsletter. If you see an area or committee where you would like to help, please reach out to the Committee Leaders for more information.
We need you and appreciate you!
PTO Meeting - October 3rd, 2022
Fall Festival - October 14th from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Newnan High School Homecoming Week and Parade
Each year, Northside Elementary looks forward to joining Newnan High School homecoming dress up days and festivities.
Newnan Homecoming Parade is Thursday, October 6th at 5:30pm
Newnan Homecoming Game is Friday, October 7th at 7:30pm
This year, they celebrate Newnan with a “Back to the Future” Homecoming theme! Northside currently has secured a 16 foot trailer, and we are working on gathering supplies for a Back to the Future DeLorean-esque float for our littles to "ride" on.
As in years past, the children of contributors and volunteers building the float are granted permission to ride or walk with the float during the parade. *A NHS Parental Form must be completed for each child riding the float. **Neither adults nor children are permitted to stand on the float at any time, nor are their legs allowed to dangle off of the float.
Please email Shafer.family@aol.com if you have any supplies to donate or are interested in joining our work days. Thank you so much for your willingness to help and desire to get involved!! Homecoming week is going to be so much fun for our little cougars!!!
Hospitality - Supporting our Staff and School
We have a “something small and sweet” staff appreciation day coming up on Friday, September 23rd. Our Hospitality team will be providing a coffee cart stocked with coffee and pastries for our wonderful Northside staff.
Please help our hospitality team keep the fridge and snack baskets stocked up for our Northside staff. If you would like to donate any of these items please sign up on the link below. All items will be accepted by Ms. Janette in the front office. Please donate your items by Thursday September, 29th so our hospitality team can stock up for October.
If you would like to help our hospitality team in another way please contact one of our hospitality co-chairs.

Read-a-thon - Spring 2023
Our Read-a-thon will February 27th, 2023 thru March 13th, 2023. We will share more as these dates near!
The Read-a-thon is one of our largest fundraisers. It’s incredible to see our Cougars' desire to read flourish during this two week challenge. Class pizza parties are awarded to the homeroom class that reads the most as a class AND the homeroom of the individual student who reads the most! There are bookmarks for all that sign up and a special prize incentive program that the children will love, too!
