Hello! Happy Sunday. For those of you observing Yom Kippur, wishing you an easy and meaningful fast.

We hope to see you at our first official PTA Meeting this Wednesday, October 16. We’ll meet in the Northeast Library at 6:30 pm. This is an important one to join if you can. We’ll discuss the budget and then you’ll have the opportunity to vote on it.

A reminder, too, that Fall ASE Classes start this week. 

Scroll through the rest of the newsletter to catch what else is happening at Northeast this week — and beyond!

Join us for dinner and a movie as we watch Inside Out 2! You bring: a blanket, chairs, and all your feelings. Click the link below before midnight on Wednesday, October 16 and you can order ahead to enjoy a fresh slice or four while you watch. Plain pizzas are $20 and pepperoni pizzas are $25. Concessions will be available for purchase on-site, too. Proceeds support your 5th Grade Fundraising Team.

New date and the weather looks great! Remember you can opt for a standard wash or get the VIP treatment with a wash + wax. All proceeds are donated to the 5th grade graduation.

Get those sitters locked down and escape your children for the night! Grab your tickets via the link below.

If you’re worried about your kid’s screen time and want to hear from the experts, join us for a free movie screening of “Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition”. This event is for you and your children (targeted at 4th & 5th graders) and is not a drop-off event. It’s sponsored by the Northeast PTA & Screen Aware Montclair. Please RSVP below (and pre-order your dinner, too!).

Join the Northeast community on Saturday, November 2 as we celebrate harvest festivals from around the world, including Festa Junina, Eid, Chuseok, Diwali, and Oktoberfest.

• Celebrate with a book! The PTA is proud to partner with Watchung Booksellers to gift a book to every Northeast student during their birthday month. If your child has a birthday this month, email their name, homeroom teacher, and grade to northeastPTAmontclair@gmail.com. We’ll respond with a gift certificate and details on how to get your book.

• Hop on the Bike Bus every Friday! Bike Bus is a weekly group bike ride to all the Montclair elementary schools. Bike Bus happens Friday mornings and aims to make it joyful, fun, and safe to bike to school together. Just like taking the regular bus, Northeast families ride on this route and schedule and “hop on” along the way. To learn more, join the WhatsApp group and visit MontclairBikeBus.org.
