Pride Week!
Pride Week is a week long celebration for students and staff for a successful and LONG school year. There will be videos at lunch from the video productions class showcasing student work, jazz band will perform a few mornings before school, Locker clean-out, yearbook and cap and gown distribution will occur Wed after school, Powder puff football game on Thursday and a Free concert to staff and students will occur Friday at 1:30 in the main gym. Students will be able to sign yearbooks at the concert Friday afternoon as well.
THIS FRIDAY at 1:30 p.m. Seattle rock band "Thee Emergency" will perform live here at Newport. Entrance is free! Critics have written, "This band is a party waiting to happen, a mosh pit of garage rock and soul."
-------------------------------------------------------
Yearbooks
In order for your student to pick up their yearbook they must present their ASB card or valid picture identification. Yearbooks will be distributed Wednesday, June 4th, after school from 12:40 to 2:00. Make sure your student has paid for one by checking the list by the Accountant's office in the Commons. If your student has any fines outstanding, they will not be allowed to pick up their yearbook. The fines list is also by the Accountant's office. Students can pay fines from 7:00 a.m. -3:30 p.m. There are a limited number of yearbooks available if your student has not purchased one and these will be available to purchase on Thursday on a first-come first-serve basis.
-----------------------------------------------------
Powder Puff Football
The Powder Puff game is THIS Thursday. Girls play football, one class against another, and the teachers have a team. The boys wear cheerleader outfits or coach. Sponsored by 7th period Leadership and benefits St. Jude's Hospital. Donations can be made directly to the accountants office. Buy your tickets now! Tickets will be sold Tuesday and Thursday at both lunches. They will also be sold at the door. $5 with ASB, $6 without.
----------------------------------------------------
Band, Choir and Orchestra Concerts
Tuesday, June 3rd Band Concert, 7:30 pm, Theater
Wednesday, June 4th Choir Concert, 7:30 pm, Theater
Thursday, June 5th Orchestra Concert, 7:30 pm
----------------------------------------------------
Baccalaureate
Sunday, June 8 from 2:00-3:00 pm
Baccalaureate is an inspirational, uplifting, and often very moving presentation that celebrates where Senior students have been and where they are going. Students are invited to speak and perform music of their own choosing. Attendance is optional for students & their families.
The question everyone asks about Baccalaureate is this: "Is it a religious ceremony?" By definition it is a religious ceremony, but in practice, the answer depends on how it has been planned & what selections the students will sing or read. Sometimes there's religious content, and sometimes there isn't. Mostly students talk about the challenges they've faced and the road they see ahead of them. It's always touching and a wee bit emotional.
And because it's a PTSA event, there are snacks afterwards.
-----------------------------------------------------
Fall Sports Packets
If you plan to participate in a fall sport, please pick up a new packet outside the ASB office. If you think or are just not sure if your physical is still up to date (physicals are good for 24 months) please see Mrs. Schacht in the ASB office. This should not be an issue for most freshman.
Newport Volleyball
All players interested in playing Volleyball next year please attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, June 4th, in room 3109 after school.
Attention all track athletes!
Our annual track banquet will be held at 6pm on June 9th in the Newport Commons. All athletes should come and bring something to eat. Freshman and sophomores should bring main dishes, juniors should bring salads and bread, seniors should bring drinks and dessert. All track uniforms can be returned at the banquet or to the ASB secretary's office this week.
Kudos to:
The Neon Knights for winning the High School Division of the Annual Ski to Sea Race (85 miles from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Student Parking Last Week of School
As seniors are done on June 13th, and will no longer be occupying parking spots, it will be very tempting for students to think that empty spots mean they can park on campus. Please advise your student that these parking spots are still by permit only. This doesn't really pertain to our students, yet they may be hitching a ride with an upperclassman.
Parking permits are distributed for security purposes as well as for allocating a scarce resource. The school needs to know who is on campus, and that cars are legitimately there. The only way they have of doing this is by registering students and issuing parking permits.
-------------------------------------------------------------
End of Year Luncheon for NHS Teachers and Staff
Denise Saedi and Rose Dennis are requesting YOUR support for the end of the year PTA luncheon for the NHS teacher's and staff by providing a picnic type salad (potato or past) or a picnic type casserole.
The luncheon is Thursday, June 19th from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Food needs to be dropped off by 8:30 a.m. If you are able to help out please confirm your menu donation to roseden21@hotmail.com no later than Tuesday, June 10th.
