Children's Book Drive Ongoing Thru 1/31 - Remember to bring in your books!

Posted on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 12:21

Through January 31, the second grade classes at Underwood are sponsoring a very imporant book drive.  Your new or gently used books can be put to use by the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center Pediatrics Department which distributes books to children in low income and immigrant communities.  The effort is designed to support literacy and is part of a national program called "Reach Out and Read", benefiting children of all ages, from 6 months on.  Books for children at all reading levels and in all languages are welcomed.   In order to make this drive as successful as possible, please work with your children to select books for this cause that they have outgrown or no longer read.  Our goal is to match or exceed last year's collection of 1500 books!  Thank you for making time for this important project.  If you have questions, please contact Leslie Scherl at shcerll@ebnhc.org or Deborah Jonas at dmjonas@rcn.com.

Posted on Thu, 12/08/2011 - 13:29

Registration is now underway for Winter classes with Newton Community Education. Coming up at Underwood we have More Math Please on Thursdays, and Advanced Lego We-Do Robotics on Fridays. Check out our Saturday family programs this winter: cooking specials The International Chocolate Chip and Two Continents Many Dumplings, and enjoy the outdoors in our new Winter Explorers. Older elementary schoolers can join us for The Stockmarket Game, Archery, Fencing, Robotics, or Babysitting. We have some new sports offerings this winter including Dodgeball, Basketball, and Sports Jam, and for younger kids we have indoor Saturday Sports Jams (and T-Ball and Flag Football coming this spring to Mason Rice). If you're looking for great winter and spring vacation programs, we have those too. As always, we have a wide variety of classes at schools throughout Newton, and we welcome kids from all schools at all of our classes.
