Registration is now open for our Fall season. The program is available to all Newton students entering Kindergarten this Fall or, for our Pre-K league, who will be entering Kindergarten in September 2024. This program is a unique opportunity for children and families to become acquainted with others who attend or will attend the same Newton school as other children in the neighborhood.

As a society, we face the challenge of defining who we become next.
Will we continue to build opportunity and hope for everyone, especially
those most in need of our support?
At the Newton METCO Community Scholarship Fund, we are inspired by
following words of Eddie S. Glaude Jr., the James S. McDonnell
Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies at
Princeton University:
We have to become better people by fundamentally transforming
the conditions of our living together.
(Democracy in Black, 2016).
Please join us in helping to transform the conditions of learning and
living for our Newton METCO graduates by donating to the scholarship
Fund today.

The mission of the “Celebration of Queer Culture,” is to highlight and provide education for parts of queer culture that are usually erased or taken out of the spotlight. In partnership with the City of Newton HHS, the Human Rights Commission, the Newton Youth Commission, Lasell University, and the New Art Center, we will highlight queer history, queer art and the intersectionality within the queer community. This will be achieved by celebrating with a queer art display, a community art project, a queer history presentation, a resource fair, a panel highlighting queer high schoolers of color, music, and more! This is an event created by young queer people that creates an informative and welcoming space where queerness is not just tolerated, but celebrated.
In addition to the event promotion, we are seeking young queer artists to showcase their talent as part of the event. We want to include as many perspectives and as much artwork as possible. If you could share this flyer as well, that would be great!

It can be hard to imagine that one kid can change the world but at Line Leaders Summer Camp we dream big! In one-week half-day sessions we keep kids engaged in our socially conscious framework through a revolutionary combination of open conversations, process art, and collaborative games. We help kids feel empowered to make a difference in their communities by breaking down some common invisible barriers that stand in their way: having the language to discuss tough topics, the agency to question them, and the space to creatively explore what it means to be a changemaker in an oft unjust world. Each day of Line Leaders is full of crafts, active play, friendship-building, and fun!
Monday, June 12 – Wednesday, June 14

Join CRA for Beginning Swim Lessons & Basic Water Safety!
Charles River Aquatics (CRA) has partnered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) as a site for the 2023 Water Safety Initiative. CRA will provide beginner swimming lessons with the goal of creating a safer environment for all patrons at public beaches and pools across the Commonwealth.
At CRA, we believe that knowing how to swim is a basic life skill– one that everyone should have for safety and for fun. CRA is offering 4 day crash courses* in Basic Water Safety June 5-29, 2023 to prepare for the summer season ahead.
The Water Safety Initiative lessons offered by CRA are funded with a grant from the DCR. There is no cost to participants.
This program is open to anyone age 4 and up.
