Newton Schools Foundation created this special program for parents to honor teachers by giving a gift in their name. You may also choose to honor a special education aide, a fine arts or music teacher, or a coach or counselor who has touched your child’s life. Suggested donation is $25 per teacher/staff member.
NSF celebrates Newton Public Schools teachers and staff by:
• Notifying honored teachers and staff of your gift
• Sharing honoree names with the Superintendent and Principals.
• Listing all honored teachers and staff in the Newton TAB
You can make your donation on line at www.newtonschoolsfoundation.org or by mailing your donation to Newton Schools Foundation, 246 Dudley Road, Newton, MA 02459. Please include the names of teachers and/or staff at which school that you are honoring. Flyers will be going home in elementary school backpacks in the next week.

Tanglewood Marionettes “Cinderella” -A classic fairy tale told with wit and style, the story unfolds as the pages of a giant book open to reveal each beautifully painted setting, featuring lavishly costumed marionettes. All your favorite characters are here, from gentle Cinderella to the bumptious stepsisters and the charming prince, but we do offer a few new surprises: Cinderella’s method of conveyance to the ball is NOT the traditional horse-drawn coach, and, when all hope seems lost, a clever little bluebird saves the day for Cinderella.

Tickets: $10 per person or $25 for family of 4. www.newtoncommunityprice.org/festival

ASA Hoops will be hosting it’s 19th annual summer camp at the Brown Middle School this summer. Camps are for boys and girls ages 7-17 and start June 29th. For more information visit www.asahoops.com/camps or email: Co****@******ps.com .
While adults put their minds at ease during yoga practice, kids learn the mind/ body connection and to meet life with breath. Kids learn universal concepts such as breath and calmness, self-control, kindness, resilience, and confidence.
Ages 4 -7 meet on Wednesdays 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Young kids love Yoga! Kids learn yoga through a mixture of yoga poses and stretches, music, games, story-telling, and art. Drop your kids off or stay to observe.
Ages 8 -12 meet on Wednesdays 4:45 – 5:45 pm. Kids at this age focus primarily on the yoga poses and breathing. Kids learn to be both steady and flexible in both yoga and life. However, there is still a good amount of games to play using the yoga postures and occasionally some art to take home.
In this instant gratification society it is wise to give your kids the gift of yoga at an early age!
Series consists of 5 one hour classes for only $50.00.
