Back To School Carnival: Thank You NRE Community!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Back To School Carnival! What a fun and awesome night! We were bummed to have to call the evening early, but so thankful that the weather held out for most of the evening and most importantly that everyone made it out of there safely at the end of the night. PTO is incredibly thankful to all the volunteers that helped through the evening and for those who helped to clean up the event quickly to help keep everyone safe at the end of the night. We will see you at the next PTO event: Coldstone Teacher Scoops! Don’t miss it!
Thank you Colorado Rockies!
PTO has given away over 800 Rockies tickets to the NRE community this season! We are incredibly thankful to the Rockies organization for providing our community with these tickets. There are a few remaining tickets for September games. Email PTOpresidentNRE@gmail.com if you’d like to pick up any of the remaining tickets!

Upcoming Events
Coldstone: Teacher Scoops

Fun Run is Coming!
Sign up TODAY for the NRE Fun Run on September 10th! Support the largest fundraiser of the year that will put resources right back in the classrooms. There are tons of great incentives to earn too! Check out the flyer below.
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!
