The issue of “Knightline” that arrived in our mailboxes has pretty much all the information anyone could possibly want – but here are a few early August tidbits.
Auction Meeting
Chair Gracie Hunt would like to cordially invite you to the Kick Off meeting for Newport’s 2009 Auction!!
Newport High School Library
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The agenda will include many important preliminary decisions – nothing is yet set in stone. If you have strong opinions about where the money is spent (the only proposal I’m aware of is to use it to build a cover over the stands of the football/soccer field), who is involved, etc…. now is the time to get involved.
Summer volunteer opportunities – mark you calendars and let us know if you want to join the fun. Great parent-networking opportunity – don’t miss out!
Fall Packets
Helpers needed to assemble the Fall Packets on THURSDAY, August 7 beginning at 9:00 a.m. through noon (probably sooner if we have enough people!). Meet in the Commons (in front of office). No experience necessary. OK to bring NHS students and community service hours will be given.
Registration Days
We also need helpers to hand out schedules, assign lockers, distribute METRO passes, and much more. Registration Days; August 20 (11 and 12th grades) and August 21 (10 and 11th grades) from 7:30 – 11:30 (shifts are OK.) Not necessary to only work your kids’ grade level! Any time is appreciated.
If you’re interested in either of these opportunities, please send an email to PTSA President Tony Brocato at abrocato1@msn.com.
Volunteer Hours
Summer is also a great time for students to build up their volunteer hours. All students need 40 hours to graduate and those who do 100 or more can earn the “Knight Valor” award from our PTSA. Details at http://www.newportptsa.org/KnightValor.index.html
Just a reminder about your sophomore’s Summer Reading Packet due September 2nd…it’s 9 pages of summer fun!!
Now enjoy the rest of your summer!!
