PARENT & TEACHER HOSTED PARTIES
Parent and Teacher Hosted parties are themed parties organized, donated, and hosted by parents and teachers of NCE. Parties are happening throughout the school year and new ones can be donated at any time! Check the Wednesday Knight E-news for updated party information. All funds raised from your ticket purchase go directly to support school
programs, supplies and more!
When do party tickets go on sale?
Party tickets go on sale Thursday, September 17 at 6:00 PM. Tickets are first come, first served, so if there’s a party you have your eye on, don’t wait!
How does it work?
Each host has set the number of spots available for their party. Once all spots are purchased, that party is sold out. If spots remain, ticket sales will close one week before the party date.
After ticket sales close, the party host will reach out directly to attendees with any additional details you’ll need for the event.
Are all sales final?
Yes. All party ticket purchases are final. If you’re unable to attend, you may find someone to take your spot. Once you have a replacement attendee, please email NCEfallfundraising@gmail.com so we can update the attendee information and make sure the party host has the correct details.
Interested in hosting a party?
Ask a few friends and start getting creative! Parties can be adults-only, kids-only, or family-friendly - and they don't have to be over-the-top (but, we love those kinds too!). We're here to help you plan and ensure your success.
