Fame (NHS Play), Sports Paperwork, Swap Meet, and more!

Stuff I Forgot
Couple of comments I forgot to make that are worth mentioning…..

· When I talked about our dances – Homecoming (the theme dance) and Tolo (the formal) – I forgot to mention something important. Many families in our community do not allow their children to date until they reach the age of 16. If you have this rule, you will not be alone, though your kids might tell you that you are.

· Many of the activities that go on at Newport are planned and sponsored by student—run organizations. You will find yourself wondering whether these kids have any supervision at all because, well, they make some dumb mistakes. The truth is that the kids typically have very hard working, helpful advisors, but despite their best efforts, the inexperience and naiveté of the students just shines right through. So if something seems poorly run or executed, well, you’re right….but some kids got a great learning experience.

Sports Paperwork Packets
These aren’t quite available yet…..Gill says give him another week.

Swap Meet
Don’t forget! The swap meet is coming up on June 16th. Admission is free and it is open to the public. Come early for the best selection and the first 100 in the door get a raffle ticket. You know what they say, “Whoever said ‘Money can’t buy happiness’ just didn’t know where to shop!”

Making the Move to Newport

Just making sure you’ve all marked your calendars for “Making the Move to Newport,” the Newport PTSA’s annual welcome to parents of incoming 8th graders.

The presentation includes information on sports paperwork, Freshman Orientation, Spirit Week, Homecoming, the remodel, and much, much more.

Newport High School Library
Tuesday, May 29 7:00 p.m.

Best parking is in the lot off of 124th Avenue SE. Enter the building’s main entrance and turn left. Go up one flight of stairs and turn left twice to the Library.

If the lot off of 124th is full, take the driveway by the stadium entrance up (east) to the other lots. You’ll have to walk down the driveway to the main entrance. (The entrance on this side of the building will be completed in the fall.)

Feel free to forward this email to any parents of incoming 8th graders you might know. Anyone with a student headed for Newport is welcome!!

See you Tuesday!!
