Newman PTC

Last Day of School Celebration
2025-06-16 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Newman Elementary, 1155 Central Ave, Needham, MA, 02492, United States
The PTC presents: Newman’s last day of school celebration for teachers, staff, students and their families.
Please join us on the playground from 3:00-4:30 p.m. for free shaved ice from the That’s So Cool truck, and free glitter tattoos and free hair art from Kaleidoscope Entertainment.
Please note: The last day of school is a half day for students with a dismissal time of 12:40 p.m. To avoid interference with teacher and staff goodbyes, and the bus and drivelines, we specifically chose this later time. Students can go home, have some lunch, and then come back to celebrate the start of summer!
We’ll be offering the “rainbow” flavor package from That’s So Cool, which includes strawberry, banana and blue vanilla. All of the flavors are dairy-free, gluten-free and nut-free.
No tickets or check-in needed — simply come and enjoy!
(NEDP students will be brought outside at 2:30 to enjoy the festivities.)

Field Day
2026-05-29 09:00 - 15:00 | Newman Elementary, 1155 Central Ave, Needham, MA, 02492, United States
Newman’s annual Physical Education Field Day is coming up on Friday, May 29! This event provides our K-5 students with the opportunity to try a variety of fun activities that promote health and fitness. Our day is based on student choice, focusing on active participation (rather than on simply winning/losing), and application of skills learned in PE throughout the school year.
Volunteers make our Field Day a success! Volunteers are needed to monitor each station activity, assist and encourage students, put a sticker on the tag of each student who attempts the activity, and to be willing to have some FUN (more detailed information for volunteers to come soon!).
The students will be participating during different blocks of time on Friday, May 29 (rain date: Thursday, June 4). The schedule will be as follows:
Thank you in advance to all volunteers – we can’t do it without you! PS–Please note that while we love our furry friends, dogs are not permitted at school wide events–please keep pets at home that day!!
