October 15, 2009

Dear Parents and Guardians:

A few brief updates to conclude the week:

•  School Committee Open House  The Needham School Committee will hold its
annual Open House on Saturday, October 17th, this year at Newman during
the annual [

]Rotary Scholarship Pancake Breakfast in the cafeteria.  The Open House
will be held from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and provides an informal
opportunity for the School Committee to hear from parents and community
members.   Grab a stack of pancakes and stop by to say hello to your
School Committee, ask a question, or make a suggestion.  They are eager to
meet you!   Please note:  The pancake breakfast begins at 7:00 a.m. and
continues until 1:00 p.m.

•  High Rock Dedication  Please join the High Rock community at the
dedication of the Town's newest school on Sunday afternoon, October 25th
at 2:00 p.m. All are invited for the ceremony, tours, and light
refreshments.

•  Newman Renovation Community Meeting   As you may know, the School
Committee and Selectmen have voted to place an override ballot question
before voters on December 8, 2009 to support the renovation and repairs at
the Newman Elementary School.  Numerous parents and community members have
requested information about the planned Newman project.  Therefore,
parents, community members, and Town Meeting members are invited to learn
more about the project at a Newman Renovation Information Meeting to be
held on Wednesday, October 28th at 7:00 p.m. in the Newman auditorium. 
Because Newman plays a critical role in the Needham community as the
town's largest elementary school, KASE and NEDP site, Science Center home,
Parks and Recreation gym facility, community theatre, and Town Meeting
venue, I encourage all parents to learn about this important school and
community renovation project.  Folks can find additional information about
the plans on the district's website: [
