Support Educational Excellence, PTSO's annual check-writing campaign

Donating to the Educational Excellence campaign in honor of a teacher or staff member is a great way to express appreciation while helping the PTSO create Tiger Talks, a fund to bring scientists, college professors, business people, and artists to Newton North classrooms and assemblies.

To donate in honor of a teacher or staff member, go to http://edex.northptso.org/contribute-now. After you enter your donation amount and choose PayPal or credit card, look for a place to add special instructions to the seller beneath your donation amount. Click to enter the name of your honoree and this person will receive an acknowledgment.

All donations to Educational Excellence are tax-deductible. 

Thank you for your continued support!

From the school nurse: Share stories this summer

Think about taking time this summer to share stories. Do your kids know how their parents met? The story of when they were born? Where their grandparents grew up?

Summertime often means less scheduled days, visits with extended family members, and perhaps a family vacation. This time of longer days opens the door to opportunities to tell stories. And telling these stories just may make a difference in your child’s health and well-being.
