Next 5th Quarter Coming Up Friday

Be sure to remind your teen about the 5th Quarter event scheduled for this Friday, Sept. 21, after the 7 p.m. Needham High School varsity football game vs. Braintree.

The program, which will run from 9-11 p.m., will include pizza, snacks, drinks, a live DJ, ping pong, foosball and raffles. Enter for a chance to win an iPad to be raffled off at the final event in November. It is free for all Needham high school aged students.

5th Quarter is a program typically held after NHS sporting events where teens can come together to celebrate a victory or support each other after a tough loss in a fun substance free environment. Organizers have received generous donations to support 5th Quarter events from the community a well as their primary event sponsor again this year, the Needham Educational Foundation.

Please encourage your high school student to attend the 5th Quarter events. If you are interested in helping out, they are always looking for volunteers to set up, pick up pizza, and serve.
