Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. This is our weekly “Shout Out” for our first full week of school in September beginning tomorrow, September 10th. We start by thanking everyone that was able to come out on Thursday to our Open House. We have much to be PROUD and excited about here at Northeast, and we are glad we were able to share those PROUD aspects with everyone in attendance. If you were unable to attend our Open House and have any questions about our school please contact your child’s guidance counselor or Team Leader by calling the school at (610) 868-8581. Our Open House was also the beginning of our Northeast Parent/Teacher Organization’s fall fundraiser, the “Save Around the Valley Books”. The books are $25.00 each. Please send the cash or checks (made out to Northeast PTO), and return envelope to your child’s homeroom teacher. If you choose not to purchase the book, please return the book to your child’s teacher. The PTO is charged for unreturned books. Save Around the Valley sale ends on Sept. 21st. The Northeast PTO is also holding its first meeting of this school year on Wednesday evening beginning at 6:00 p.m. in our cafeteria, which is immediately followed by our Northeast Band Parents’ meeting held in the band room.
With school now in full gear I want to again remind everyone to please be careful if you transport your child to school or pick your child up after school. We are entering and dismissing almost 800 students from our building, and we want to do everything possible to keep our children safe. Your patience and adherence to traffic laws is vital to our children’s safety. Please exercise caution when bringing or picking up your children from school.
In sports this week our fall sports are in full gear. Our field hockey team plays twice this week. On Monday they are away at Trexler and on Thursday they play here at home against East Hills. Our Volleyball team plays three times this week. On Monday we are at Harrison Morton and then Friday at Trexler. On Wednesday we play at home against East Hills. Our runners in Cross Country have a meet on Thursday at Northampton, and finally our Football team plays away on Saturday against Easton. As always we wish all of our athletes the best.
Finally we end our Shout Out hoping everyone is able to take a moment on Tuesday to remember those who lost their lives 17 years ago in the tragic events of 9/11. May we get to a point where we all live in a world without terrorism and hatred so that our children can raise their children in a world without that fear. As a school we will take time first thing in the morning on the 11th to help bring that point home for our students in our annual Patriot Day event.
Have a great remainder to your weekend!
