Some FAQ’s for this *new* NES Tradition:
Can we drop our kids & go?
Unfortunately, not this time. We’d love to celebrate the holidays all together so this is a family event…the plus side, only kids need to purchase tickets!
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Of course! Our only requirement at the door is that it is CASHLESS – we will take Venmo or Paypal, additionally, if you purchase at the door this will not include popcorn & water
How much are adult tickets?
Zero, zilch, nadda. We want you to come, bring your kids & enjoy a night off from running all over the place prepping for holiday break!
Can I bring lawn chairs, tailgate chairs, blow up chairs from the 90’s?
While all sound great…no. This will limit the # of people who can attend as well as possibly block those from enjoying the movie. If there is a medical need, please reach out to nesptoboard@gmail.com & we will work this out for you!

Can friends and family come to the event?

While the support of family & friends is typically welcome at PTO events, since this one happens during school hours this will be an NES student event and ask that parents/family/friends stay home for this one

What are the prizes?

School Meets $20,000 Goal: If the student body meets or exceeds the goal, PTO will host a super fun, high-energy assembly packed with excitement, laughter, and school spirit!

Why are we asking our student’s to raise money?

As an organization the PTO works behind the scenes a lot of the time and adds value to the school in many ways. Here are a few of the items that we fund annually:

Student Agenda Books (Grades 2-6)
PBIS Assembly Shirts
Exterior Flags on Poles in NES Parking Lot
Science Fair Assembly
Science Fair Boards
Teacher Lunch at Start of School Year
Teacher Appreciation Week Events (with help from parents)
Trunk or Treat Prizes
