Newton Kindergarten Soccer

Registration is still open for Newton Kindergarten Soccer. The spring program offers two divisions: the Kindergarten Division is for those children currently in kindergarten. The Pre-K Division is for children who will enter kindergarten in the Fall of 2015. Games are at Richardson Field and Zervas Elementary in Waban beginning April 11th. To be eligible, children must live or attend school in Newton. Register by March 15th to avoid the late fee.

Newton Kindergarten Soccer is an introduction to soccer with a focus on making friends, learning teamwork, and developing confidence. Each spring, over 200 incoming kindergarteners and 200 current kindergarteners throughout Newton play in the league. Players are grouped with other children who either live in the same neighborhood or will attend the same school for kindergarten, so that incoming kindergartners can meet future classmates.

To find out more or to register, please visit our website: http://kindergartensoccer.org/.

Newton Family Singers Tribute to The Beatles!

John, Paul, George or Ringo – who is your favorite? We love them all! In the 1960’s, the Beatles hit the US at one of the most socially tumultuous times in our history, providing an outlet for young people to express their uncertainty, irreverence, and independence. From the quiet idealism of Imagine, to the rousing optimism of All You Need is Love, the music of the Beatles holds a special place in our hearts, remaining fresh and meaningful to each generation that discovers it.

So take a trip down memory lane (maybe even a Magical Mystery Tour) with the Newton Family Singers as we celebrate the Beatles as only the Newton Family Singers can do! Pack up the minivan – you’ll want to share this music with your kids! “NFS Tribute to the Beatles” will play at the  on . Tickets can be purchased at www.newtonfamilysingers.org.
