Parking is tight, so please give yourself plenty of time to arrive by 7 pm. All students will receive a special Back To School Night schedule on Monday, September 23. Please check with your child for this copy. In addition, your child’s BTSN schedule can be downloaded from the Parent Connect portal.

Sign up for the “Tour de Newton” – The first annual Tour de Newton is scheduled for October 6th and it promises to be a great event for everyone – kids, adults, experienced bicyclists and casual riders. The Tour will be a 20 mile bicycle ride that will start simultaneously in all 13 villages at 9:30 am.
Here in Oak Hill we’ll be starting at Newton South. You’ll be riding the whole loop with a group of your Oak Hill neighbors and be guided by a leader and a sweeper who know the route. The route’s been carefully chosen to be a fun, safe and pleasant ride.
As the group arrives at each village, you’ll be met by greeters who’ll give you a specially designed village badge and tell you a bit about the highlights of their village. Complete the whole route and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a new bike from International Bicycle on Needham St. It should be a great event, so sign up here.
Oak Hill Greeters Needed – If you don’t want to ride 20 miles on a bike, how about volunteering to be one of the Oak Hill greeters. Your job will be to meet each of the incoming groups of riders, hand out the Oak Hill badges and water, tell them a bit about Oak Hill, and generally be an ambassador for the village. Drop us an email at Jerreilly@yahoo.com if you’d consider taking on that fun job for a few hours on Oct 6.

Dr. William Meehan, III, a national expert on sports injury prevention and director of The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention in Waltham, will discuss sports injuries and concussion prevention at a free talk at the Leventhal-Sidman Jewish Community Center in Newton on October 6 at 9:00 am.
Dr. Meehan is also the director of the Sports Concussion Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital, the author of Kids, Sports and Concussions: A Guide for Coaches and Parents, and the director of Research for the Brain Injury Center at Boston Children’s Hospital. He is the team physician for the Northeastern University men’s ice hockey team.
“Organized sports participation by children and teenagers is at an all-time high,” says Dr. Meehan. “Approximately 38 million children and teenagers participate in organized sports. The benefits of sports participation are numerous. However, these benefits come with the risk of injuries. Proper preparation for individual sports that involves injury prevention education and training is where parents, coaches and schools can make a difference.” The talk is open to the entire community. For more information, contact 617-558-6459 or visit the JCC website.
