NRCO News & Events
THANK YOU!
A special thanks to the Nancy Ryles Community: teachers, staff, parents and volunteers. Friendship Parties at school didn't have the traditional support of the NRCO this year but the students had amazing celebrations. So many parents prepped activities and games at home, for the kids to do in the classroom. And for all the people who helped support their students to bring in Valentine cards to exchange... The students had a special day. Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration of friendship a success.
Upcoming Events
GUEST SPEAKER: Tuesday, March 8th at 7pm
Our last session with Megan Barella, Positive Parenting Coach, will be next month on Tuesday, March 8th at 7pm.
Megan is offering several complimentary workshops to the community. Check out our social media pages for more information.
A special thanks to all of our sponsors for helping make this event possible: Danielle Bade with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Spencer Rubin with Play Fit Fun and Scott and Sandi Proctor with Impact Sign Company.
NRCO Leadership Update
Corrie Villatoro has served as our co-treasurer for this school year. Unfortunately, she will not be able to finish the year as treasurer. Thank you Corrie, for all that you’ve done for Nancy Ryles! We’ll miss you! Our Secretary, Sandy Carpenter, is moving into the role of Co-Treasurer. Thank you Sandy! This transition will be happening during the month of February.
The NRCO could use your help!
