Charleston Wrap: Holiday Gift & Wrapping Paper Fundraiser
THANK YOU Northridge!! With your help we were able to raise over $3,200 for our students and school! Amazing effort from everyone involved! We hope you were able to find some great things to help your holiday season, we deeply appreciate your support!
This funding is so important to help provide NRE with up-to-date educational resources, subscriptions to online learning applications, new books for the library, supplies for specials, field trip support, SPED/SSN support, Gifted & Talented resources, and the list goes on. Thank you for your support NRE community!
King Soopers - Did you know!?
King Soopers donates back to the community through their Community Rewards Program. Through September 30th, there were 45 families enrolled in the program to direct their King Soopers Community Rewards to NRE PTO. Between January 1 and September 30, the rewards generated by those 45 families totaled over $2200!! That is FREE and EASY money for NRE! There is no cost to families to participate and it takes 1 minute to link your King Soopers account to NRE PTO! Let’s double the number of families enrolled by January 1 and really take advantage of this great community partnership! See the very easy steps in the flier below - new again with the most recent app upgrade!
