I am also doing some housekeeping to my email list. This message is sent to all parents of the Class of 2011 at Newport. If your student is no longer at Newport, let me know so I can remove you from the list. If you have any changes or additions, please let me know. If you are hearing from me for the first time, welcome! Past messages can be viewed on the blog. Your email address is in the bcc line to preserve your privacy. All requests for removal cheerfully honored. I am missing about 20 email addresses for parents/students out of a class of almost 400! . If you know someone that is not receiving my email, please forward my message to them and have them contact me and I will add them to the list!
