THE KNIGHTLY NEWS

Dear Families,

Students are getting into the swing of things now that we've had a full week of school. They might be tired this weekend as we all work to build up our stamina for five full days of school.

We'd love to see you at our first PTO meeting of the year on Tuesday, August 25th at 6:00. We'll talk about our upcoming fall fundraiser, goals for the school year and ways for parents to get involved at school.

If you're in the mood for a sweet treat on Thursday night, stop by YoYo Berri while also donating 25% of your total purchase back to Neihardt. The classroom with the most students participating will get a prize.

Have a great weekend,

Dr. Tara Cooper

Calling all Shield Shop Volunteers. We need your help on Wednesdays and would love to have volunteers come in and help at the tables by assisting the students while they Shield Shop. If you are able to volunteer, click the Sign Up Genius link below.

We appreciate all your help!!

Important information for 3rd - 5th grade parents

Ipad insurance for 3rd, 4th and/or 5th grade student(s) is available if you choose to purchase it. The insurance for your student's device will not be activated until the $15 fee is paid. Please send $15 (cash or check) in an envelope to the school office marked with your child's name.

You also have the option of paying by credit/debit card. Parents may access Schoolpay by going directly to www.schoolpay.com or by clicking the “Pay Fees” button on the Fees screen in the Synergy ParentVue Application. If you click the button in ParentVue and are NOT yet registered in Schoolpay, it will take you through that process. NOTE: Online credit card transactions have a convenience fee that will be added to your total.

If you have any questions, please contact the school secretary, Michaela McCauley at 402-715-8360 or by email at mdmccauley@mpsomaha.org.

We value the partnership between families and our school community. This survey is designed to learn more about how you'd like to be involved in school activities, events, and volunteer opportunities. Your input will help us create more meaningful, flexible, and inclusive ways for families to participate—whether it's during the school day, after hours, or from home. Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your preferences!

On September 16th, we have our school's only fundraiser of the year, our Boosterthon Fun Run! Our Fun Run is a well-attended family event. Each Neihardt staff member and student will be given a shirt for the Fun Run to wear during the event and to keep. We are reaching out about sponsorship opportunities for the Fun Run t-shirts! With a sponsorship, your business logo will go on the back of the t-shirts (size is dependent on amount donated), displayed in our school newsletter, and posted on our school social media. In addition to this, more advertising will happen each time one of the 500+ shirt recipients wear these shirts outside of the Fun Run.

Boosterthon, the organization we partner with to execute the Fun Run has conducted research that shows both participation and funding both increase when the event takes place in the fall. This shift also benefits our sponsors as our students get a brand new shirt early in the fall that they continue to wear throughout the entire school year, advertising your business in a greater magnitude.

Please see the attached flyer and use the contact information listed if you are interested or to ask any questions you may have. Responses are appreciated by next Wednesday, August 20th.

Thank you for considering!

All girls in 3rd through 5th grade are invited to join Girls on the Run. Click the link below for more information and to register. Start date is Thursday, September 3rd from 3:30 to 4:45 pm.
