Welcome Back Cobra Families!!!
​
We hope everyone had a summer filled with lots of great memories! As we start another school year, the PTA has been busy planning out an unforgettable year for our Cobras. We know this year looks different than any other, but we are committed to making it a wonderful year with many Cobra memories for our children. As always, none of this could not be done without the help of our Newbury parents!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We have over 20 committees that we run. ALL OF OUR COMMITTEES BENEFIT THE CHILDREN OF NEWBURY. We cannot do it alone. Our volunteers are the foundation of the PTA. We appreciate our returning volunteers! Thank you so much for your continued support. Activities always run the risk of being cancelled if we do not have volunteers to chair or assist with our committees.
New to Newbury or the PTA? We welcome and invite new members to come and check us out! I guarantee that if you take a chance, you won’t regret it!
We try to balance the educational and social activities we provide. Why not be a part of helping us continue to make something new?
These years fly by! We don’t get a chance to do it again. Being a part of the PTA is a simple way to make a difference in your child’s experience at Newbury!
We are more than fundraising. We want every child to succeed. We are concerned about the health and safety of our children. However, we do fundraise for educational supplies above and beyond what the district supplies. In addition, the fundraising we do allows us to provide several assemblies throughout the year, fully funded class trips, field day t-shirts, 5th grade yearbooks and MUCH more.
Don’t feel that you can commit? Work during the day? Not a problem! We have many other activities that we need help with virtually. We also have committees that you can do on your time!
We understand that not everyone wants to participate or can participate. Monthly meetings allow members to see exactly what the PTA is doing. We welcome members to come to our monthly PTA meetings, but it is not mandatory.
We use a variety of ways to communicate information about the PTA. Our quickest and fastest way is on our closed Facebook page. Please search for Newbury PTA on Facebook. Once you are a paid PTA member, you will be able to join the group. Sign up Genius for PTA sponsored activities, PTA reminders, and relevant school information are some of the things that can be found on our page.
Not on Facebook? Not a problem. We have electronic flyers that are sent home throughout the year for all of our events and activities. Volunteers maybe asked for on those forms. All current fliers can also be found on our website page under the Current Flyers tab.
​
The webpage has general information about our PTA. We do not use it to sign up for PTA activities. Relevant PTA forms and dates for PTA meetings are some of the things that can be found on our webpage.
We encourage you to email us at ptanewburyschool@gmail.com with ideas, compliments, concerns or questions.
If none of those ways suit your needs, please feel free to directly reach out to any officer personally.
Always remember, every little bit counts. We appreciate whatever our parents can do. In the end, we come together for the benefit our children at Newbury. We look forward to working with all of you this year! GO COBRAS!
