Look Who Got Slimmed???
Ms. Messner is the best! If the class raised $2K for the Newport El Foundation during the Jog-a-Thon, she said she would get slimmed.  The kids did their part and so yesterday, the slim-fest was on!!

PTA - Membership Cards
California State PTA is now offering the option to distribute digital membership cards to members instead of paper cards.

For the 2014-15 membership year, Newport Elementary has decided to offer the new "e-cards". Please look out for an email with your digital cards attached. Members can then save the image of their personalized e-card to their smartphone or tablet device and carry it with them, just as they would a traditional paper card. The digital cards do not need to be printed.

Garden Club - Needs Your Help!
The Newport El Garden is coming together.  Due to a grant from the Foundation, we were able to remove all of the existing dirt and ground cover, replacing it with all organic high-end soil.  If you look closely, you will even see peas growing up the fence!

To get the kids planting, we need a few more supplies.  If you are able to help, please click the link below and let us know.  Or just drop the items off at the garden & text Darcy (949.500.2252).

Items Needed:
- Meyer Lemon Tree
- Mexican Lime Tree
- Kishu Tangerine Tree
- 4 Blueberry Bushes (2 different varieties)
- 5 Large Rubbermaid Trashcans with Lids (to store soil)

Art Masters for January - French artist Paul Gauguin
Art Masters will be focused on French artist Paul Gauguin this January.  His bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts helped Gaugin to achieve broad success in the late 19th century. Both a painter and a sculptor, he was an important figure in the Symbolist art movement of the early 1900s.
