As the weather gets colder, try to keep that winter weight down with our Walk Warm Program. The Newton Falls Elementary/Middle School will be open through Friday, May 17th, from 3:30-5:30 PM Monday through Friday, to all Newton Falls residents who would like to walk the halls. Individuals under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Sign-In is required.
The Newton Falls Community Backpack Program began on "Make a Difference Day" in 2010. It was designed to supplement food over the weekend with kid-friendly, nonperishable foods such as peanut butter, pudding, protein bars, soup, macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables or fruit, cheese crackers, etc. About fifteen individual items are given in the (plastic) bags each week. We also include a donated, gently-used book when available, which kids may keep, share, or return. The Kiwanis Club of Newton Falls has helped with this project and their treasurer co-ordinates area school groups, community members, and church volunteers to pack.
Folks in town contribute funding to this project at Associated School Employees Credit Union. They also donate food at boxes at the credit union, Healthy Treasures, and the Newton Falls United Methodist Church. The children, selected confidentially by the school staff, are to take the bags home and share the contents with family members. We ask parents/guardians to check the contents, particularly if the child has allergies. On occasion, recently expired--but sealed-- donations are given out. They meet acceptable standards according to Second Harvest food guidelines, a copy of which has been given to the Elementary/Middle School Office.
If you do NOT want to participate in this program, OR if you know of someone that WOULD benefit from this program, please let the school staff know. The program runs through mid-May.
In case of emergencies such as school closings, bus delays or upcoming events, the district will use its computerized telephone notification system to inform parents. It is extremely important that parents verify their emergency telephone numbers with each building secretary. If you have changed telephone numbers or are now using only a cell phone contact to be reached please update your information with the building secretary.
