Celebrations to honor Veterans planned for Nov. 9th and 10th
The NRES Community would like to celebrate our freedom and honor the men and women who have served in our armed forces by observing Veteran's Day at two special breakfast events. Those who have a student with the last name beginning with A through L should attend on Thursday, November 9th from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m. Students with the last name beginning with M through Z should attend on Friday, November 10th, also from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m. For more details and to RSVP, please follow this link.
Our next Community Night Fundraiser is set for Tuesday, Oct. 10th at Applebee's!
Fliers have been sent home with all of our students advertising the next NRES Community Night Fundraiser on Tuesday, Oct. 10th between the hours of 11 a.m. and closing time. This event will take place at Applebee's near South Park Mall (17771 South Park Center, Strongsville). Applebee's will be donating 15% of every check back to NRES for anyone who shows the hard copy or electronic version of the flier when ordering. To-Go orders are also eligible for the donation, as customers just need to order on the Applebee's website and type in the promo code DOINGOOD.
Food and Snack Guidelines at the Elementary Level
There have been a few questions from our families about the district's policy on shared snacks at the elementary level. For those who have not yet viewed the Elementary Shared Food Letter, follow the link for more details. It can also be found on our website by clicking Menu/Forms & Links/Elementary Forms & Links/Elementary Shared Food Letter.
While we no longer have a "Snack List" containing specific items that are permissible, we remain just as diligent that the health and safety of our students is of the utmost importance. The District adheres to guidelines for shared food and snacks so that we can promote safety, consistency, and equal access for the growing number of children who have life-threatening food allergies.
Homemade or home-baked food items to be served to students as a shared snack are not permitted at NRES. In addition, families and staff members will need to be meticulous to check that all store-bought items display an ingredient food label for allergen verification, as shared food and snacks must be free from peanuts and tree nuts. Additional restrictions, such as eggs and milk, may be instituted at the classroom level should a student’s health needs dictate.
When in doubt, please call the office at 440-582-9060 for assistance with shared snack questions.
Small denomination gift cards needed for staff surprises!
As a way to continue to enhance the culture and atmosphere at North Royalton Elementary School, we are seeking donations of small denomination gift cards that will be used throughout the year for staff surprises. Donations we have received so far are $5 to $10 gift cards for businesses like Dunkin', Starbucks, Target, Giant Eagle and more.
Periodically during the year, Mr. Pavelich travels the halls with a Snack and Beverage cart that brightens the day and lifts the spirits of our wonderful staff at NRES. The donated gift cards will be hidden among the items contained in the cart as a special surprise gift for the teachers and support staff at the building. If you would like to help, just stop by the main office and let our staff know you are donating for this worthy cause!
