Here?s your chance to safely dispose of private documents you can?t just throw away. The Memorial-Spaulding PTO is hosting a fundraising ?shred? on Saturday, October 27 from 10 am to 1 pm in the School parking lot. PROSHRED ? the most experienced document destruction company in the US ? will have a shredder truck on site to receive and destroy your material.

Navigating the Rocky Road of Adolescence
Information about Navigating the Rocky Road of Adolescence, a group for parents of middle-school aged children, was recently sent from The Newton Partnership to be included in your PTO newsletter. This program does require registration and has filled up early in the past, so we hope that you can send the information out to parents as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. There is a $20 fee for the 4-week series, and we can offer financial assistance to those who need it.
This group begins on Tuesday, October 23 from 7:00-8:30 pm and will take place at the Freedman Center at MSPP, Ground Floor, One Wells Ave., in Newton. We have offered these groups before with much participation from parents, but this is the first time we are separating the program into age groups of middle school and high school.
This parent group series provides parents with the opportunity to interact with other parents of children in middle school and to explore the many changes that occur during the middle school years, and how they affect relationships at home and school. This group is also a great way for parents to develop a network of parents dealing with the many issues that can arise during this challenging time.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE: Driving Change on our Streets and in the oceans
We hope you can join us on October 23rd for our Climate Change event, Roadside Assistance: Driving Change on our streets and in the oceans.

We are also excited to have the expertise of Bud Ris, Pres. and CEO of the New England Aquarium to guide us through the basics of the concerns about climate change and its effects on our oceans and on us. Before you come, visit the NEAq?s quick reference guide to the issues of climate and how it is already impacting New England.
Join us! We look forward to seeing you on October 23rd!!
