Dear Incoming South Families:
 
Welcome to the Newton South PTSO and the School year 2011- 2012. The Newton South PTSO is a Parent Teacher Student Organization supporting Newton South High School. We have more than a dozen volunteer committees to support the school and serve the entire South community. We welcome all our new members' participation at whatever level is comfortable. Last year we distributed 100% of the PTSO contributions to Student and Teacher-related activities, such as: 

•  Over $20,000 in grants dispersed to teachers, students and clubs;
•  Two large projection systems for the student center and field house;
•  Over 60 Student Clubs and Organizations;
•  Events planned for the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes;
•  Principal Discretionary Fund;
•  Teacher and Staff Appreciation Breakfasts and other Events;
•  Parent Communications;
•  Grade level "what to expect" coffees;
•  Maintaining a website and email server
