A BIG Boosterthon Thank You!

Thank you to our NRE family, friends and donors for your amazing support and donations to the Boosterthon this year!  We were able to meet and succeed our goal and we look forward to using those funds to enrich the NRE community.  Mr. Shillings and Ms. Heyward have promised the students a LipSync Battle for their hard work! The LipSync battle will take place on November 21st at 2:00. It will be live streamed and recorded for the students and staff. Ms. Heyward is debating on who she will be performing as Mr. Shillings will be performing Justin Beiber. We will be getting feedback from students on which 2 songs to perform. More information to come on the video link.
