NCLS Weekly Newsletter 1-May-2014

Dear Parents,

Hope all had a nice spring break! Our school will resume this coming Sunday 5/4, welcome back!

1.  Fall Semester Registration will start soon

We will post the fall semester registration procedure around mid-May.  Stay tuned.

2.  NewtonServes at Day School this Sunday 5/4 – Need volunteers

NewtonServes is a Day of Community Service that brings together over 1,000 volunteers of all ages to complete more than 50 community projects for the benefit of numerous non-profit organizations and City of Newton departments. Last year, NCLS partnered up with Day School and accomplished many things: painting rooms and hallways, cleaning windows, raking leaves, sprucing up the courtyard, among other projects.  This is a great volunteering opportunity for us to foster the sense of community.  We have a list of projects at Day School for this Sunday:

Please note:  1.   NewtonServes will run from 1-5.           2.  The organizer will provide all materials for painting, volunteers that plan to work outside are asked to bring gloves, rakes, and a wheelbarrow if they have one.     3.  Yes, school-aged kids are welcome to help!

We encourage you to join this meaningful community service!

One way to help take some of the worry out of retirement is to be prepared.
