All orders will be delivered to teachers the afternoon of 2/12, and distributed to students on 2/13.

Whole class orders may be placed online on our website

Individual Orders may be placed using the flier sent home in your child’s folder or attached to the school messenger.

Q3 General Body Meeting — February 12th

Calling all PTO members! If you are receiving this email, this includes YOU. We will be hosting our next meeting on Thursday, February 12th, at 5:00pm in the Media Center immediately preceding Math Night. Please make every effort to attend as we will be discussing several important items including opening our Board elections for next year.

Spirit Night at ZuZu’s PITSA — 2/18

Join us for dinner on Wednesday, February 18th, ALL DAY at ZuZu’s PITSA! Wear your NHES spirit wear to school and then swing by to earn money for our school! Just make sure to mention you’re with New Hope and a portion of all proceeds will be donated back to us!

Yearbook Orders CLOSE FOR GOOD on 3/2

Have you ordered your Yearbook yet? Yearbook orders will close on 3/2 and will NOT reopen. This is your last chance to get the commemorative book celebrating all of our students’ accomplishments this year!

Not sure if you ordered? Check your email for a message with subject line “Jostens Order Confirmation” — just make sure it’s from this school year. If you don’t have that email, we don’t have an order for you and you should place your order today.

Please also note if you purchased a 5th grade tribute ad that does not mean you purchased a yearbook as well.

5th Grade Parents — PLEASE READ!

Your last chance to order a commemorative yard sign celebrating your student’s accomplishment finishing elementary school is quickly approaching. The final day to order is Friday, 2/27. You can personalize your sign with your student’s name, if you choose. Orders will be processed in March and delivered early - mid April. Place your order today on our website www.newhopepto.org/store

Painting with a Purpose is BACK!

NHES students are invited to attend with one adult of their choosing to paint a guided piece on canvas, led by our very own Mrs. Riedinger! Tickets are $15 per pair on our website and include 2 take-home canvas and all supplies needed. Additional sibling tickets are also available, but siblings must be current NHES students. Space is very limited and tickets MUST be purchased in advance. PTO will also be selling concessions in person for those interested.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to our Specialized Instruction team to purchase outdoor equipment.

Spirit Celebrations — Mark Your Calendars!

Make sure to wear your NHES spirit wear to school and then join us at these participating restaurants! Each sponsor will donate a portion of their proceeds earned back to New Hope PTO. This is a great way to skip the dinner grind or celebrate the day with a sweet treat and make a difference for our school.
