Northeast Elementary School PTO

We are collecting gently used or new costumes for students who may not have one this Halloween. There will be a collection box outside the front doors of the school through October 27th. Join us in spreading joy and ensuring every child can enjoy the magic of Halloween. For more information or questions, please contact [email protected]

Do you have a question you’d like Dr. Marinello or the PTO to answer during our PTO Meeting next week? Please submit questions and RSVP using this form.

Dr. Marinello & the PTO welcome you to a morning All-School Conversation & PTO Meeting on Wednesday, October 18 at 8:30am. Come join us for a cup of coffee and find out more about upcoming events at Northeast and how you can help! This is a great opportunity to hear about plans for the school year and speak directly with Dr. Marinello and the PTO. A Google Meet link will be provided for those that can’t attend in person. Hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone that joined us in supporting and helping raise breast cancer awareness during our annual PINK OUT day at Northeast. This year our Northeast Stars donated more than $850 to Stamford Health’s Paint the Town Pink initiative! Students learned the value of giving back to our Stamford community while also helping bring awareness to this import cause.

If you haven’t already, please watch this inspiring video message from one of our beloved Kindergarten teachers – Pam Blackwell – explaining how important it is to raise awareness for breast cancer, how to talk about cancer with your child, and what this time means to her as a breast cancer survivor.

Click here to watch a special message from Pam Blackwell – one of Northeast’s Kindergarten teachers – explaining PINK OUT day, Breast Cancer Awareness month and what this important time means to her as a breast cancer survivor. Join Northeast and show your support by wearing PINK on Friday, October 6th and supporting with a suggested $1 donation. Donations can be made via VENMO @NEPTO or given to your classroom teacher in a sealed envelope. All donations will be given to Stamford Hospital’s Paint The Town Pink.

Picture Day at Northeast is scheduled for Wednesday, October 11th. Every student will take an individual portrait and a class group photo, even if you do not plan to purchase a photo package. Photos will be taken outdoors, weather permitting.

Picture Day photos will be used in the Northeast school yearbook.

If you would like to volunteer to help with Picture Day, please use the link to sign up for a time.

Picture Retake Day is scheduled for December 5th.

FALL is here! As you clean out your closets for the new season, remember the Northeast Textile Recycling Bins! Save the environment and repurpose your unusable items (think clothes that are more-than-gently-used, old towels, sheets, single shoes and socks, old backpacks, even stuffed animals!) while making money for our school! Place all items in an enclosed garbage bag. Bins are located on the right side of the lower lot, by the stairs to go to the Stamford Historical Society. For more information, visit our PTO website (https://northeastpto.digitalpto.com/programs/textile-recycling-bins/)

Nothing says family fun like a Stamford Mud Run! Sign up using our Northeast link and you can raise money for our school too.

Join our Northeast team in the Stamford Mud Run, Sunday October 15th at the Italian Center. Northeast will receive a portion of the registration fee for every team member who signs up using our link. Hope to see you there!

Outdoor Family Movie Night is coming on Friday, October 13th. Come join us for this fun Northeast community event, including a Zumba pre-movie dance party!

Hello my name is Ashley from Girl Scout troop 50812 in Stamford Connecticut. I am working on completing my Silver Award. I am building sensory tables for four kindergarten classrooms at Northeast Elementary School. I am also preparing a year’s worth of materials for the teachers to use in the sensory tables from year to year. I held a tag sale to raise money for the materials to build the sensory tables. I have set up an Amazon wish list of items needed for inside the sensory tables. Please consider supporting my project and purchasing an item on the list that will get mailed directly to me. Thank you for your support.
