Welcome to the Ridge Meadows Elementary School PTO Fundraising Page!

At Ridge Meadows, we believe in fostering a vibrant and enriching educational experience for our students. The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) plays a crucial role in this mission by organizing various events, activities, and programs that enhance the learning environment and unite our school community. To continue our efforts, we rely on the generous support of parents, teachers, local businesses, and community members.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

 

Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of our students. We host two major fundraising during the school year, the Fund the Feathers Direct Giving Campaign and a Trivia Night & Auction. The success of these major fundraising efforts makes it possible to eliminate the needs for product fundraisers like selling candy & magazines. Lastly, we run small spirit night fundraisers & utilize programs like Box Tops and Spirit Wear. Below you will find a complete list of this year's fundraising efforts & goals.
