The date set for 5th Grade Celebration (aka Class Day) is Friday, June 13. It isn’t attached to a Community Meeting Day, but a morning of activities, a lunch and the afternoon celebration for parents and caregivers.
Celebration time 1:45-2:30pm for parents/guardians to attend. There will be some words from the principal, songs from the 5th graders, and we are planning other pieces to be shared by students. There will also be a slideshow. There won’t be any diplomas for 5th grade 🙂

Last Day of School Celebration
2025-06-16 15:00 - 16:30 | 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.)
