Open House

Our Open House is quickly approaching!

It is Friday August 15th, from 4pm-6pm.

The PTA will have a few booths set up. There will be one form to fill out for all your Memberships and School Spirit T-Shirt(s) needs. We will have three checkout lines, to try to alleviate wait time. This year we will be offering a discounted Spirit Family Membership for $26. This includes any two Adult PTA Memberships (can include family members such as a grandparent, uncle or aunt etc. in addition to a parent) and two Ridgeline Spirit T-Shirts.

If you are interested in volunteering with PTA, the Open House is a chance for you to sign up! The more the merrier! This gives you a chance to "K.I.S.S. your child" - Keeping Involved Sustains Success!

We will also be having a silent auction with donations from the community at the Open House and Back to School Night. This is a fun way to recognize our local businesses that support what we do, and to raise some funds for the programs and events that our PTA brings to the school.

Some of these Programs/Events include:
- Dad's or Special Guest and Doughnuts Day - One day for every grade
- McGruff House Program
- Take Home Reading
- Grandparent's or Special Guest Day
- Reflections Art Program
- Ridgeline Run
- Teacher Appreciation Week
- Birthday Recognitions
- Field Day
- Red Ribbon Week
- And Much More!!

To make the membership drive fun for our students, the classroom(s) with the highest percentage of PTA participation will receive a Pizza Party at the end of September! Each teacher will have a "pizza" in their classroom, and when a parent joins the PTA, their student's name will appear on a "topping" to be added to the "pizza".

Every Friday is Spirit Day. A different grade will randomly be selected, and students of that grade who are wearing their Ridgeline Spirit T-Shirts in that will win a prize!

We are excited to serve with the PTA this year, and look forward to seeing you and your student's smiling faces at the Open House!
