Newton's Attic

💙 Thank You for an Incredible Summer! 💙

From our very first week through our tenth and final week, we are so grateful to every family who chose Newton’s Attic for their child’s summer experience. Thank you for trusting us with your students and allowing us to be part of their summer.

We loved watching them learn new skills, tackle challenges, build amazing projects, make new friends, and discover just how exciting hands-on science and engineering can be. These ten wonderful weeks would not have been possible without the support and enthusiasm of our families!

📸 Summer photos have been posted here on our page in the Summer 2026 Group, so be sure to request access and look through them and enjoy some of the moments we captured. We have also shared more detailed photos of our Lost & Found, so please take a look if your child is missing a water bottle, hoodie, lunch box, or other item.

The fun doesn’t end with summer! Please save the dates for two upcoming Newton’s Attic events:

🌙 Skies Over Aradyn — Saturday, October 24
Join us at Aradyn in Campton, Wolfe County, for moon-themed activities, stargazing, optional overnight family camping, and a morning hike.

🤖 Robot Gladiator League Kickoff — Saturday, November 7
Join us at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School as student teams begin another exciting season of combat robotics, engineering, teamwork, and competition.

Please continue watching our page as we rebuild and introduce more school-year programs and special events. Newton’s Attic is also available throughout the year for birthday parties, field trips, and group experiences.

Thank you again for ten fantastic weeks. We loved having your families with us and hope to see you again soon!
