September 2025 PR PTA Updates

“Run For Your Team” Fun Run
We’re excited to announce that Monday 9/15 kicked off Pleasant Ridge Elementary’s annual Fun Run Fundraiser—a healthy, active, and fun way to support our students!

Why We Run
The Fun Run isn’t just about fitness—it’s about supporting learning and enrichment for every student. Funds raised will help provide:

  • Field trips
  • Author and reader visits
  • Classroom and building needs
  • Staff appreciation events
  • Family/Community events
  • Teacher grants

Together, we can make all of this possible for our school community!

Our Goal
$20,000 for our students!
Here’s how you can help:

  • Register online—it’s FREE, fast, and only takes a few minutes! Click here to register!
  • Our goal is 100% student registration. Every registered student receives a sports-themed keychain!

School-Wide Incentives
As we reach fundraising milestones, the entire school celebrates together:

  • $5,000 – Pajama Day
  • $10,000 – Lunch Movie & Ice Cream Day
  • $15,000 – Duct Tape Mrs. Hughes to the Wall
  • $20,000 – Teacher Lip Sync Battle

Event Details
Fun Run Day:
 Friday 10/17
Donation Deadline: Friday 10/31 at 11:59 PM

Let’s lace up, have fun, and reach our goal together!
