Graduation 2010-volunteers stil needed!
- I still need about 8 people to bake 2 dozen cookies for Baccalaureate, June 13th
- I still need about 10 more volunteers to help on June 14th 8:00 - 10:30 to help the 2010 grads check-in for Grad KNight
And many thanks to those of you who have already offered to help! I know how busy the end of the school year gets!
--------------------------------------------------------
Eric Dawes, PTSA President - Join us for the last "family-focused" PTSA meeting
We encourage you to attend our May 26th, Wednesday night meeting – at 7:00 pm in the NHS Library -- WITH your students as we discuss the status of risky behaviors at Newport. With Graduation and summer approaching, this is a good opportunity to talk about what temptations are available to Newport students with regard to drinking, substance availability -- even holding those "I'd rather they drink at my house than somewhere else" parties. Drug Intervention Counselor Scott Sturdivan and Bellevue Police Resource Officer Greg Mills will be on hand to help with our awareness of what happens on and near our own campus. It's not a lecture -- we hope it's a chance for you to learn the facts which you can use at home to further the discussion should you choose to do so. We'll even have a cash door prize drawing for the students who donate an hour of their time.
The second agenda item of our meeting is recognizing the extraordinary volunteers who have stepped up this year. We hope you can be there to express your appreciation for the work they do to make Newport that much better.
Are you receiving the weekly Knightline emails?
Hopefully we've done a pretty thorough check to be sure people are receiving the weekly email reminders from PTSA. Our Knightline has moved online and is updated each week … it can be viewed at www.newportptsa.org/Knightline. If you are receiving THIS email but not receiving the weekly reminder email you should check the www.newportptsa.org website. Click on "MY NEWPORT", enter your email address and if it is not present, be sure to add it. Next year we'll be combining our class and Knightline lists to be sure you're receiving all communication from Newport!

Message to Parents: YOUR WORDS, ACTIONS COUNT
It is essential for parents to recognize that their words and actions count when it comes to substance abuse discussions. Dr. Phillippe Cunningham, Research Scientist at the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Medical University of South Carolina, explains, "Kids who are close to their parents are less likely to engage in a whole host of risky behaviors, including drug and alcohol abuse."
Initiate conversations about drugs and why they're harmful during the course of normal activities. Use blocks of time such as after dinner, before bedtime, before school, or on the drive to or from school and extracurricular activities. Talk with your kids each day after school. Know what they are involved in, who their friends are, and help them manage their free time. Parental involvement is an extremely powerful drug prevention measure. Your teens may be pressing for independence, but the truth is they need to hear from you and want you involved in their lives. Feel comfortable with your words and saying things like, "I would be very disappointed if you started using drugs or if you even tried them once," or "I love you and I want the best for you, so I hope you won't try any drugs." Give honest answers to tough questions, and do not make up what you do not know.

Baccalaureate and Graduation 2010 - Volunteers Needed!
I decided to send this request for volunteers out all by itself so it doesn't get lost in all of the other end of year information...
So the senior parents can enjoy Baccalaureate and Graduation, the junior parents traditionally help in several areas listed below. Remember, we'll be asking the same of next year's junior class parents so here's your chance to be the first to volunteer! You can reply directly to me if you can help.
Thank you!

Baccalaureate Reception, Sunday June 13th 2:00-3:00 p.m.
- I need 20 people to bake 2 dozen cookies
- 2 more parent volunteers to help serve (Thank you Allison and Lisa)
Cookies need to be dropped off at 1:30. Parent volunteers will need to be there at 1:30 to set-up until approximately 4:00.
Graduation, Monday June 14th at Meydenbaur
- Door Guards (prior to Graduation 4:45 - 7:00 p.m. ) - 6 parents are needed to guard the doors into the auditorium at Meydenbauer before we open the doors to the public. Volunteers would need to be in place around 4:45 p.m. We have the band students arrive around 5:00 and have sound checks for speakers and performers at 5:00. Parents need to guard the doors to make sure that other people don’t get into the auditorium. Once the doors open they would help the Honor Society students take tickets and pass out programs until graduation starts at 7:00. Contact Elaine Caufield by phone or e-mail if you are willing to help 425-456-7401 or caufieldd@bsd405.org
- Grad Knight Check-In 8:00 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. - approximately 30 adults to help get the Seniors checked in for Grad Night! There will be several of us that help direct Seniors from graduation to the Grad Night check-in, others to check Grads in by bus/station, and others to help ensure items are handed back to parents/family members, etc. Graduation typically ends by 8:30 p.m., so we need volunteers at Meydenbauer by 8 p.m. for set up and instructions.

The assembly itself will last about an hour.

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!
