PTO In Action
New PTO Board Members Needed!
PTO is searching for some NRE parents who are interested in serving the community as a PTO Board Member for the 26/27 school year. PTO Board Members serve from May to May. We are still in need of 1 new Co-Communications Officer, 2 new Co-Vice Presidents and 1 new Co-Treasurer. Please email PTOpresidentNRE@gmail.com if you are interested in learning about the opportunities! It’s a great way to get involved at NRE!
iPad or other Tablet Donation Request
PTO is looking for an older iPad or tablet to use at events when we need to collect credit card payments. If you have one at home that you’re no longer using, please consider donating it to the PTO. If you’re willing to donate, please email PTOpresidentNRE@gmail.
Check the Lost & Found!
The Lost & Found collection is growing large - please stop by and check for any missing items before the end of the school year. Anything remaining in the Lost & Found on the last day of school will be donated.
Upcoming Events
Teacher Appreciation Week
May 4-8 is National Teacher Appreciation Week! Please see the flier attached for some creative ideas for ways to say “Thank You” to our wonderful NRE teachers!
Breakfast with Buddies
This community appreciation event is coming up on Friday, May 8- all NRE students are encouraged to invite special people in their lives to this free event as a way to say “thank you” for all their support. We are so excited to see you all there! Click here to RSVP by Monday, May 4th!
We also need volunteers to help setup after school on May 7, to pickup donated items early morning on May 8, and to help cleanup on May 8 after the event. Please signup on the new NRE Volunteer Padlet!
End of Year NRE Staff Gift Crowd
PTO will once again be hosting a “NRE Staff Gift Crowd” as a simple way for families to thank our awesome teachers and staff. You simply click this link, choose the staff you’d like to thank, choose how much to contribute and you’re done - easy! Not only can you thank your child’s classroom teacher, but its super easy to also contribute to gifts for our cafeteria crew, the specials teachers, the SSN staff, the mental health team, Mr. Danny, Mr. Kirk, Officer Ben, the bus drivers, the EA’s, etc. What if 50+ families all chipped in a few dollars for all of those support staff members!? The Gift Crowd will be open until May 28 at 3:30pm.
School Tool Box
PTO is partnering with School Tool Box to provide NRE families the opportunity to order all needed classroom supplies for the fall. Place your order now and check this to-do off your summer list! A portion of each sale comes right back to NRE PTO - its a win-win!
FREE Rockies Tickets!
The PTO now gets free Rockies tickets for select 2026 games—and they’re available to NRE families at no cost! To get a shot at tickets, make sure you're opted in to PTO text messages. When tickets are available, you’ll get a text with instructions on how to request tickets. Tickets will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Not signed up yet? It only takes 10 seconds— click here.
Plus, PTO texts keep you in the loop with all the important reminders and updates. Stay connected and don’t miss out!
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!
5/7/26: Red Robin
5/19/26: Mici Italian
5/28/26: Mod Pizza (all day), McDonald's (11am - 2pm), Kona Ice (10am-12pm)
Volunteer Opportunities
NRE has a new volunteer site to see all available volunteer opportunities. Please check it out here! Specifically, you can find information about the following volunteer needs we have:
Breakfast with Buddies - Pick up the donuts, coffee, or breakfast tacos. Help us set up on May 7 after school. Help us clean up.
Grant Writer - Help us find funding for large expense items like playground equipment, new library shelving, etc.
Ongoing Fundraisers
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!
Paint the Rock - Reserve the Rock to celebrate a special occasion. First sign up for your date here, then make your $20 donation to PTO through MySchoolBucks.
Additionally, PTO has volunteers who are willing to paint the rock for you if you’d like! Follow the steps above, then email PTOpresidentNE@gmail.com to inquire about volunteer availability. When we find a volunteer who can paint for you, then you can make an additional $50 donation to PTO.
King Soopers - Did you know!?
King Soopers donates back to the community through their Community Rewards Program. 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! See the very easy steps in the flier below.
