If you would like to participate in the Scarecrow Competition please contact jdore@newtonma.gov, attn: Scarecrow Walk

Scarecrow Requirements:
1. Please make the Scarecrow free standing if possible- we do have spots where we can lean scarecrows against trees and such if necessary.
2. Make it able to withstand the elements as much as possible- so no newspaper stuffing please- if you need to stuff it use leaves or hay if possible.
3. Theme scarecrows are great! Please tell us your scarecrow’s name prior to the event for the sponsor cards.
4. Please drop off the Scarecrow by Thursday Oct. 20th and pick up by Wednesday Oct. 26 (if this is not possible email us and we will send someone to get it!)
5. Finally, we have a scavenger hunt for kids on that day so if you could send me a good question about the scarecrow it can be included in the scavenger hunt!
6. Additionally, we are taking a few scarecrows over to the Highlands Haunted House on Oct. 30 to decorate outside. If you want your scarecrow to also be displayed there, please let us know. You will have to pick up the scarecrow immediately after the event.

Brooklyn-based trio, Rolie Polie Guacamole, is a children’s jam band. Their songs are original, and parents like the positive influence their songs have about healthy eating and staying active. Come hear them in concert at the Brookline Music School, 25 Kennard Rd., on Sunday, November 6, at 2:00pm. Tickets are $5/each

On November 18, the Albert Angier Elementary School is having a 90th Birthday Celebration at the Windsor Club, 1608 Beacon Street, at 7:30pm~ “Angier Through the Decades.” All adults are invited!

The Angier Celebrates 90th Committee is looking for Angier alumni. We hope you will attend the celebration and share your memories of being a student at Angier. We welcome class photos, too. Send your memories and photos, as well as RSVP to the celebration to angiercelebrates90@gmail.com. The donation for this event is $25 per person. The proceeds from this event will benefit the preservation of Angier’s historical documents and well as a Time Capsule for the next generation of students and neighbors.
