CLASS DUES:
Kindergarten-Fifth Grade: $20 per student.
Sixth Grade: $70 per student.
TWO WAYS TO PAY:
1. ONLINE - Pay online via PayPal / Credit Card using this form. (PayPal online service fee applies)
2. BACKPACK MAIL TO HRC - All classrooms now have two Homeroom Coordinators, or HRCs. HRCs will be reaching out to families to introduce themselves soon if not already. For class dues, you can now send cash/check into the classroom in an envelope addressed to your HRC. ATTN: (insert your HRC's name).
- K-5: make checks payable to the HRC directly
- 6th Grade: make checks payable to NES PTO (6th grade funds are pooled and managed across the entire grade.)
Classroom dues are used by HRCs for: refreshments, decorations and activities at four classroom parties throughout the year (Halloween, Winter Holiday, Valentine's Day, End of Year) and also for a class raffle basket fundraiser at Spring Fling.
For Sixth Grade, dues also fund an end-of-year trip; DJ, food, decorations and supplies for Sixth Grade celebrations; Sixth Grade track meet and class t-shirt; and year-end Promotion.
EARLY E-PAY INCENTIVE WINNER IS...
Kelly Miehle!
This year we had an early pay incentive. If dues were paid online by midnight, Thursday, September 5th, you were automatically entered into a raffle to win an NES Key to the Castle & a logowear gift for each of your NES students. The Key to the Castle gives your family members free admission to several NES events: Trunk or Treat, Night with Your Knight, Sweetheart Dance, Family Bingo, Muffins in the Morning and Donut Break.
Congratulations to Kelly!

Please note: if dues present a financial hardship, please inform the school nurse, Ms. Blumenthal (215-944-2209, cblumenthal@crsd.org) and strictly confidential arrangements will be made for your student's participation. Thank you!
Box Tops
CALLING ALL BOX TOPS! Yes, we are collecting box tops again this year! All classrooms now have collection containers, so Box Tops can be sent in at any time throughout the year.
NES earns 10 cents per Box Top collected. It may not seem like much, but it adds up to more than $1000 each year which funds a variety of NES programs and events.
What you do...
Clip the Box Tops Coupon along the dotted line, making sure the expiration date is clearly visible. (Expired box tops are not redeemable). However, clipping may not always be an option. See more information about this here.
For Box Tops that say "SCAN" please download the mobile app on your phone and enter your store receipt (within 14 days of purchase). It's easy and applies automatically!
Box Tops are found on many products from brands like: General Mills, Ziploc, Hefty, Betty Crocker, Juicy Juice, Yoplait, Scott, Kleenex, Green Giant, Old El Paso, Pillsbury, Nature Valley and Kimberly-Clark, and more!
Check out this short YouTube video for more information on how to download the new mobile Box Tops app!
Don't forget to include your child's grade & teacher's
name on all Box Topsp submissions.
