PTO In Action
A Special Thank You
Ashlie Reynoso, Kari Anderson, Sheena Calliham, Lori Dean, and Sarah-Amanda Lewis are stepping down from their current PTO Board positions. They have faithfully and sacrificially served the NRE community this year - we could not have done what we did this year without their tremendous contributions. When you see these wonderful people, please thank them for all they have done for NRE! A job well done, friends!
Additionally - the PTO Board would like to welcome new members for the 2025/2026 school year: Jon Messer, Bethany Johnson, Amy Diaconu, Katie Jastrom and Kara Mosely. Thank you for your willingness to fill these important roles!
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! New things are added everyday! 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.

Thank you!
