🐾Mascot: "Newts"

Meet the newt, a mascot that's definitely one of a kind This cute and quirky creature is the proud symbol of New Roots Charter School in Ithaca, NY, and possibly another school or two. The newt was chosen by the school's founding students because it embodies their values and mission. Here’s the cool part: newts are like the teenagers of the salamander world, making them a perfect fit for a school full of young learners. Plus, newts are great indicators of a healthy ecosystem, so they represent environmental awareness and thriving communities 🌿. So next time you're out on a hike and spot one of these little guys, remember they're not just cute; they're also eco-superheroes 🐾
