The DCL protocols for entering venues require that only one member of the family of each player attends the games in order to keep the number of attendees consistent with the number of people allowed to congregate at this time. The league is aware that this number may change in different communities in the future and we will communicate any changes as they become effective. Identification badges had been distributed and you have to wear them in order to come into all member schools’ events. We appreciate your collaboration.
This week was the kick off of the playing season. Our athletes and coaches were eager and happy to be able to compete. We want to thank our NS community for the support of the health measures and their presence at the playing fields.
Our Golf team opened their season on Tuesday by traveling to Acton Boxboro. Coach Flynn reports “The team split with AB this past week. The Lions won the home match 88-77, and lost a close one away 87-80 on Tuesday. The team was led by four-year varsity member and senior captain Maddy Small who had 21 and 16 points in her matches.”
Our boys and girls Soccer teams and the Field Hockey squad also suited against Acton Boxboro this week with their series to be completed tomorrow. We will host Girls Soccer with varsity starting at 3 PM and JV A at 11 Am. AB doesn’t have a third team this year.
Opening their season on Saturday will be the Boys and Girls XC teams. The races will take place at Cold Springs in the afternoon. Please notice that parking is limited in the area and the number of attendees is still one person per runner competing.
NSHS Spirit Wear will be available for sale from 8AM – 4PM at the back area of the main parking lot by the Stadium.
An assortment of sweatshirts, hoodies, t-shirts, sweatpants and accessories will be available.
Payments to Boosters Club can be cash, check or credit card. All proceeds support the Boosters supporting our student athletes and teams.

Are you interested in singing? Looking for an a cappella group? We are seeking new members from all grades to join the Newton South Newtones!
To learn about our social-distanced auditions, make sure you come to an information meeting for audition details and info on all other things Newtones!
The meetings are no commitment so no worries if you end up deciding this isn’t the group for you. They’re simply an easy way to get info and to meet/see our group! You don’t have to come to both meetings; they will have the same info. If you can’t make it to either session, don’t worry because we will have the recorded zoom webinar up on our YouTube and likely IGTV as well ASAP following the zoom. If you know anyone at Newton South who may be interested in auditioning for this award-winning, fun group, please spread the word! Email [email protected] or dm us on Instagram with any questions, we’d love to chat with you.
As always, DM or email us with any questions! We can’t wait to see all you guys :)))
Best,
Grace Tourtelotte and Eva Pearlman

The PTSO is launching our Mentoring/Family Connection Program for Students and Families to help build new connections in our school community.
A Student Mentor should be a Junior or Senior at South who is willing to be a resource and can offer their support, knowledge and skills to help a student Buddy, who is new to South, a Freshman or Sophomore. A Mentor Family would be willing to be a resource to support 1 or 2 families who are new to South, to Newton, to the US.
This is not a tutoring program. It is a community building program to help form new connections. There’s no structure to the connection – whatever works for the Mentor & Buddy. Our South Community is vast and supportive. Please sign up by Friday, October 9th if you are interested in being a Mentor or Buddy. After the sign up period, our coordinators will followup with an email to both Mentor/Buddy so they can connect. We hope this program will help students find new connections and an opportunity for families to have local resources to navigate South and Newton.
