Equity & Inclusion Committee
Back to School Social was a HIT!
We would like to thank DJ Tommy for the fun tunes, Jules pizza, Maui Lu food truck and Gabriel's II for the amazing food, Aziz Ice Cream Truck for providing yummy frozen treats, the Newtown Fire Department for stopping by - too bad it was too cold for a spray down - and Aramark for helping with cleanup!
Another HUGE thank you must go out some parent volunteers! Erika Becker, Jaime Daddario, Catherine Katona and Jen Mitschele, the PTO could not have pulled it off so smoothly without your help!
And the Key to the Castle winner is...
the Dooley Family!
We will see these smiling faces
at many of our school events,
free of charge!
Congratulations!
Here's a look at more of the smiling faces we saw last Friday...
Calling All Box Tops!
Yes, we are collecting box tops again this year! All classrooms now have collection containers, so Box Tops can be sent in at any time throughout the year - NO NEED TO WRITE YOUR CHILD'S NAME AND TEACHER ON THEM anymore.
NES earns 10 cents per Box Top collected. It may not seem like much, but it adds up to more than $1000 each year which funds a variety of NES programs and events.
What you do...
Clip the Box Tops Coupon along the dotted line, making sure the expiration date is clearly visible. (Expired box tops are not redeemable). However, clipping may not always be an option. See more information about this here.
For Box Tops that say "SCAN" please download the mobile app on your phone and enter your store receipt (within 14 days of purchase). It's easy and applies automatically!
Check out this short YouTube video for more information on how to download the new mobile Box Tops app!
*You NO LONGER have to write your child's name and teacher on Box Tops submissions!*
