Schools
Say 'Thanks' to a Newton Teacher
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and today is Teacher Appreciation Day.
Take the opportunity this week to honor a teacher in your life.
May 6-12 is Teacher Appreciation Week and today, May 7, is Teacher Appreciation Day.
Although the Newton Public Schools has a policy against teacher gifts, there are plenty of ways to let teachers know how much you appreciate what they do. A simple note or card is always welcome, or a handmade craft from a student.

Parents can also donate books to school libraries in honor of a favorite teacher or a donation can be made in a teacher's name to the Newton Schools Foundation (NSF). The NSF's "Honor Thy Teacher" campaign is one way to honor a local teacher.
Donations can also be made through individual schools' parent teacher organizations. Check out the Newton PTO Council website for more contact information.
