<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">As
we enter into the holiday season, please remember the Newton School Committee
Policy: “No teacher in the performance of regular duties shall receive
presents from the pupils under his or her direction.” Each year families
are reminded of this policy, and each year most families comply. It is
very natural for children and their families to want to acknowledge and thank
their teachers at holiday time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">Here
are some suggestions: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">1.
A note of appreciation to your child’s teacher, or a card made by your child,
would be treasured. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">2.
A homemade acknowledgement to your child’s teacher or faculty member, such as
cookies or baked goods.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">3.
You may wish to honor a teacher or staff member through a donation to the
Campaign for Cabot. Checks should be made to the Cabot <span class="correction">PTO</span>, with a note indicating that it is for the Campaign
for Cabot. This is a terrific way to honor a teacher and support the
parent-run enrichment programs at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Cabot</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">Please
do not solicit money from families for class gifts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">If
you need further clarification please speak with the Principal <span class="correction">Marilynne</span> <span class="correction">Quarcoo</span> or your

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Thanks so
much to the entire Cabot community for all your help with the
Thanksgiving Food Drive! We were able to deliver two full (very full!)
carloads of food to the Newton Creative Start <br>
program last Wednesday, thanks to collection and delivery help from Lori Seuch,
Rachel Leaney, Anya Bassett, Suzy Enyeart, Isabelle Thacker, and Kelly Phillips
-- and, of course, the generosity of so many Cabot families who donated the
food. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
