PTO In Action
Candeeland Family Night & PTO Silent Auction - THANK YOU!!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Candeeland Family Night out! Over 300 people attended the event and good time was had by all! Dash even made an appearance! Candeeland is generously donating $5500 of the proceeds from the evening to NRE PTO - an AMAZING donation from a wonderful community partner! We also want to thank the volunteers who helped run the carnival games and the Candelaand staff for making the evening so special for our NRE family. Please see a few photos from the evening below!
Additionally, the PTO Silent Auction ended during the Candeeland event and we are pleased to share that the NRE community raised $5978.41 by purchasing donated auction items!
Total raised between the two events: $11,478.41!!! THANK YOU NRE COMMUNITY!!!
Lost & Found Clean Up
The items in the photo below have been collected since mid-February. The Lost and Found rack is near the art room/kindergarten classrooms - stop by anytime to reclaim anything you are missing! Additionally - if you lost a jacket this winter, email PTOpresidentNRE@gmail.com to see if it is still in the items we have stored in the PTO shed.
