Dear Newton South Senior Families,
The PTSO is planning to gift the NSHS Class of 2020 Seniors a “Best 3 3/4 Years of my Life” t-shirt. We are finalizing designs and would like to get seniors to provide their size on the form below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19GblhYE3hxBPEAsR7kKBIXgb0D-CmVnbvtpDsb2THEQ/edit?usp=sharing
Please complete their size information by Monday, May 25th 5PM.
Seniors and families of seniors,
The PTSO and the Graduation 2020 planning group are excited to offer Congratulations Class of 2020 signs to our seniors and plan to have pick-ups at South on Wednesday (5/27) and Friday (5/29) of next week. Sign pick-up will coincide with the senior book return for Cutler House on Wednesday from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm and Goodwin House on Friday from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm. Students coming on those days will be asked to complete their business inside the school during their scheduled time, get back into their vehicles, and then drive to the circle (bordering the baseball field at the end of the parking lot) for curbside sign pick up.
Students and/or the parents/guardians whose book return day is Tuesday (Goldrick House) or Thursday (Wheeler House) can come to get their signs on either Wednesday or Friday.
Volunteers will take the names of each senior picking up a sign and place the sign or signs in the trunk or through a car window. People can pick up multiple signs but will be asked to tell the volunteer the names of all students they are picking up for. Feel free to organize with neighbors/friends if you want to offer to pick-up and deliver to others.
After sign pick up, cars should keeping moving safely through and off of the school grounds.
Pick up times:
Wednesday, May 27th , 8:30 am – 12:30 pm
Friday, May 29th, 8:30 – 12:30 pm
P.S. The PTSO will be making arrangements for delivery to those unable to pick up from South. Details will be forthcoming.

Dear Newton Seniors and Families,
We know how challenging this time has been for all Newton students since our schools closed abruptly on March 12. This closure has been especially difficult for you, our Newton high school seniors, and families. Instead of saying good-bye with the normal traditions, ceremonies, and celebrations, you left school not knowing how the final year of your time in the Newton Public Schools would play out.
We need to find creative and fun ways to celebrate you this year when a lot of usual traditions and ceremonies are not currently available to us. We are grateful to all who have quickly pivoted to plan creative and celebratory ways to honor our graduates and today we are excited to jointly invite you to one of two additional special community celebrations to honor the Class of 2020.
We will host two separate “Celebration Lanes” at Newton North and Newton South on the afternoon of Sunday, June 7 (exact times TBD and rain date Sunday, June 14). At Celebration Lane, Newton Public Schools administrators, principals, faculty, and staff, as well as our City leaders, will be welcomed to line the designated street by your school to celebrate you (in an appropriately physically distanced manner!).
We invite you and your family to drive (or bike or walk) through the “Celebration Lanes” to say “see you again soon” and to give us the chance to say “thank you and best wishes!” Show your school spirit – decorate yourself and your mode of transportation, make joyful noise and be acknowledged for all you have accomplished during your high school years. It may not be a “normal” tradition but let’s make it one we will long remember for its show of resiliency in the face of challenge and hope and positivity in the face of hardships.
We hope this special celebration will be a positive moment you can add to your memories of this truly unprecedented time. See you at “Celebration Lane” and congratulations on all of your accomplishments!
Sincerely,
Mayor Ruthanne Fuller & Superintendent David Fleishman City of Newton
P.S. More details on the “Celebration Lanes” are forthcoming through your school PTSO and administration. Stay tuned!
P.P.S. Please note that the “Celebration Lane” is in addition to the two-pronged graduation celebrations being planned by the high schools. We look forward to the Virtual Celebrations on June 10 and June 11 and to any in-person diploma ceremony that we may be able to hold later in the summer.

Join Angier Families and Alumni to celebrate Principal Lamberti’s retirement. See details below of the tribute planned by Angier Elementary’s PTO Newsletter.
We’re sure all of you adults and caregivers have a great deal of gratitude and appreciation for Loreta’s tremendous service to Angier for over 30 years. She’s really blown us all away with her contributions. Whether she’s touched you and your family personally and directly, or her legacy that has shaped Angier to what it is and what it will be has indirectly positively effected your family we owe a great deal of thanks to all of it.
So with the remaining Greensheets for the year we are adding a special section called “Gettin’ Wordy for Lamberti”. The community can submit words of appreciation, favorite stories, or anything you want to share about your personal experiences with Loreta over the years. You can contribute as much as you want and write like you’re running out of time or a simple “thank you” and That Would Be Enough. Click here to be taken to the form. You will also have the option to write and not have it published in the Greensheet in which case it will be delivered to Loreta with all submissions at a later date. How can anyone Say No to This? Please submit, share for the benefit of everyone, and do not throw away your shot. We thank you all in advance!
