Cozy season is here, and what’s better than a warm, homemade meal? 4th and 5th grade families, it’s your turn to share your favorite crockpot dish with our school staff. Stew, chili, soup, meatballs—whatever you love to make! Side dishes and desserts are welcome, too.

Please drop off your dish at 9 a.m. on the table outside the front office. We have space for six crockpots, so sign up here!

Our Fall Festival is just around the corner! Join us for an evening of trunk-or-treat, a costume contest, games, treats, and activities for the whole family. Come in costume, enjoy time with other Newcastle families, and bring your appetite—we’ll have spaghetti for everyone!

Events like this happen because families volunteer their time. Whether you can help for part of the evening or take on a larger role, we’d love to have you join us. Sign up to volunteer here.

Help support the Issaquah Food Bank! Drop donations in the bins by the front office, or purchas items from the WISHLIST. You can also bring donations to the Fall Festival on October 21.

Please see the flyer or wishlist for requested items.

Tapatio Dine Out • Thursday, October 29

Enjoy a delicious meal and support Newcastle Elementary PTSA! A portion of sales from dine-in, takeout, and gift card purchases will benefit our school community.

Mention Newcastle Elementary when placing your order or purchasing a gift card, and again when asking for your bill.

Thank you for supporting our PTSA!

We need your connections! As we prepare for our ALL IN FOR THE LIONS Auction on March 5, 2027, Newcastle Elementary PTSA is looking for corporate sponsors and community partners.

If you work for a company that offers corporate giving, sponsorships, or charitable donations, we’d love your help connecting us with the right person or department.

We’re not asking you to sponsor the auction personally — just to help us make the connection! Even a simple introduction can make a BIG difference for our Lions.

👉 Learn more about our Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities HERE and help us spread the word!

The Newcastle Elementary PTSA’s Angel Program supports students and families experiencing financial hardship. Donors can give money, food, clothing, or school supplies to help meet their needs.

The identities of the children and families are confidential. Our Angel Program chairs gather donations and purchase needed items, then give them to Ms. Mutter for distribution.

Become an Angel donor and help a Newcastle student in need.
