Junior parent needed to coordinate the reception following Baccalaureate 2010
Baccalaureate is senior class event sponsored entirely by Newport's PTSA. Baccalaureate is an inspirational, uplifting, and often very moving presentation that celebrates where 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. And because it's a PTSA event, there are treats afterwards. The Baccalaureate Chair for the Class of 2010 is looking for a junior parent to coordinate the "treats" and volunteers for this event scheduled for Sunday, June 13th. The ceremony is 2-3 pm. Volunteers are also needed to bake cookies, provide punch, set-up, serve and clean-up. Please contact me if you are interested and can help coordinate this celebration!

Bellevue School's Foundation Spring For Schools Luncheon
BSF's annual Spring For Schools Luncheon is on May 27th, at 11:30. Janet Suppes will be putting together a table with Newport PTA parents. It is one of the big events of the school year. About a thousand people from all over Bellevue come, and lunch is provided.

Donations are requested, but you can decide how much you feel comfortable giving. So, come join your neighbors in supporting an organization that has been integral to the success of Bellevue schools.
