This is the largest fundraiser of the year for NRE PTO! We’ve got a school wide goal of raising $60,000 to pay for things like classroom books, supplies and visual aids; online learning resources and curriculum; technology aids and updates; teacher and staff appreciation; field trip transportation assistance. Prizes will be awarded for meeting individual fundraising goals, the winning classroom will earn a prize, the winning grade level will win a prize, and the whole school will earn prizes for our Prize Day on Friday, September 26!

Upcoming Events
PTO General Assembly Meeting
ALL are invited to attend the first PTO meeting of the school year. Come see what PTO is all about! The meeting will take place in the NRE Library on September 12 from 8:45-10:15. Little ones are welcome to tag along and you are free to come and go if you aren’t able to attend the whole meeting. Bring a friend and enjoy free snacks!
Winter Coat & Halloween Costume Drive
Bring your unneeded winter gear (jackets, gloves, hats, boots, etc.) to NRE starting Friday, September 12. We will have bins in the front lobby to drop off things you no longer need. Also, take a look in the bins for anything you might need! Consider it a swap - give what you don’t need and take what you do need! You do not have to make a donation to take something you need. We want to make sure all NRE kiddos have warm gear this winter!
New this year - we will also collect unneeded Halloween costumes. If you see one in the bin that you can use, please take it!
The Coat & Costume Swap will end on Friday, September 26.
Multicultural Night
One of the most special nights of the year - NRE Multicultural Night - will be on Friday, October 3 from 5:00-7:00pm. NRE families host booths to help us celebrate the diverse cultures represented in our school. Would you like to host a booth and showcase your culture? Reach out to Tiffany Malone at tiffanykmalone@gmail.com to reserve your booth or ask questions!
Booth Ideas:
Cultural Booths: Traditional clothing, art, or historical artifacts
Interactive Activities: Host a craft project, game, or storytelling sessions
Global Cuisine: Small samples of cultural foods - candy, food item or drink
Additionally - the evening will be filled with performances by kids from NRE! If your child would like to share a performance with our community, please email tiffanykmalone@gmail.com for more information.
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!
9/11/25: Fujiyama
9/12/25: Desert Donuts
9/16/25: Arby's
9/30/25: Mici
