PTO In Action
Celebrate Your Artist!
Do you have piles of amazing art from your student at home and nowhere to display it!? Would you love to have it all in a beautiful and convenient book to enjoy? Plum Print has given Northridge the opportunity to support our school while we transform our children’s artwork into custom books! Not only will they donate 20% of the sale back to Northridge but they have also provided a $25 off code for us! Please take a look at the flyer below and use the code NORTHRIDGE when you place your order. This will give you $25 off your order and send 20% back to NRE!
NRE SWAG!!
NRE PTO is partnering with a company called “Mostly For Nerds” (MFN) to provide NRE Swag! You can now purchase tshirts, hoodies, hats, etc. MFN is also generously donating $5 per item sold back to NRE PTO. More items will be available in the future, and if you have a request for items that you’d like to see available, please let us know. Check out the online store now!
Upcoming Events
Read-A-Thon
Planned in partnership with the DBC, the Read-A-Thon starts on Friday, February 20th and ends Thursday, February 26th! With this event you can turn the minutes you read into prizes as well as donations to your school! This event is even happening right on the heels of our next book fair! Please plan to pick up some new books at the fair in February to read the following week for Read-A-Thon prizes! Register here by February 15th to earn an extra prize!
We have some special shirts available to celebrate the Read-A-Thon too! A portion of these shirt sales will go to the DBC! Check them out at the link below, they’re so cool! Click here to order!
The Read-A-Thon kicks of with “Book Character Day” on Friday, February 20 where students are invited to dress like their favorite Book Character.
Students can ask friends and family to sponsor them for the minutes they read. Our school goal is to raise $10,000 - if every classroom raises around $350 we can do it! If we do raise $10,000 Mrs. Lehnert and Mrs. Armijo have agreed to GET SLIMED!!! We will use the same fundraising platform for Read-A-Thon that we used for Fun Run - Pledge It. Details for setting up your account will be coming soon. Get those reading minutes logged in Pedge-It to win some great prizes! Prizes for reading will include: Free Eileen’s Cookie, Free Kids Meal at Lazy Dog, a 3D printed fidget, free SweetPlay admission, a candy prize pack, and a Rocky Mountain Sister Bear Plush. Let’s get ready to read!
Family Dance
“Wassup” Northridge! Our Family Dance is happening Friday, March 6th from 6:00-7:30pm in the NRE Gym!! This blast from the past, 90’s theme dance promises to be “all that and a bag of chips!” In addition to dancing in the gym, there will be several other activities in the Cafeteria and Library.
Admission for the Dance will be $5 per family. Admission includes desserts and drinks. Tickets will be available to purchase on MySchoolBucks.
Also featured at the Family Dance - “Rocky Mountain Sister Bears”. They will be selling custom NRE stuffies that kids can fill with stuffing and a wishing star. Each large plush also comes with a birth certificate, backpack and custom NRE Pride T-shirt! Pre-orders are encouraged to ensure accurate quantities. A limited quantity of additional stuffies will be available for purchase at the Family Dance, but pre-order to be sure your kids get one, preorders close TODAY, February 6th! Please see the flier below for details or click here to order.
Restaurant Nights
Local restaurants host “spirit nights” where a designated portion of the proceeds from your order will be generously donated back to NRE PTO. All you have to do is mention NRE when ordering. It’s a win-win-win: you get a night off from making dinner (or treats), local restaurants get our business, and PTO receives a donation. Stay tuned for more dates - we are adding more to the calendar all the time!
2/12/26: Fujiyama

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, 2025, 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! We are really hoping to take full advantage of this great community partnership!
