We'll be scheduling volunteer work sessions to organize supplies, prepare gifts, and get everything ready for our students.
Want to help? Watch BAND for upcoming volunteer opportunities and work party dates. Whether you have an hour or an entire afternoon, we'd love to have you join us!
📅 Stay Up to Date with PTO!
With so many activities happening throughout the school year, the best way to stay informed is to check our website regularly.
Visit www.ridgwaypto.com for our upcoming event schedule, Santa's Workshop information, fundraising updates, meeting recaps, and more.
We'll continue adding details as events are confirmed, so be sure to check back often!

🙌 Every Little Bit Helps!
We know families are busy, and volunteering doesn't have to mean joining a committee or attending every meeting.
Whether you help at an event, sell a few tickets, share a fundraiser, or give us an hour of your time, every little bit makes a difference!
Thank you for continuing to support our students, teachers, and schools. We have a lot of exciting things planned, and we're grateful to have such a supportive community helping make it all happen!
Supporting Our Schools. Strengthening Our Community. ❤️🤍
