Thank you to all who donated to the Color Me Silly Fall Fundraiser this year! Classes that met their class fundraising goal are celebrating with a popcorn party this Thursday.

The PTA is looking for volunteers to “pop” in this Thursday at 10:30 AM to help assemble and fill popcorn boxes, deliver popcorn to designated classrooms and photograph each class with the popcorn cart!

Please check in at the front office when you arrive.

Volunteers Please Sign Up Here

Classes that earned a popcorn party: Mrs. Marion, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Batterson, Ms. Twork, Ms. Wallevand, Mrs. Caldwell, Mrs. Glennie, Mrs. Zimmer, Ms. Bell, Ms. Garin, Mrs. Hass, Mrs. Schoeff

Come watch the Saline Hornets take on the Bedford Kicking Mules with your Pleasant Ridge Friends!

The tailgate will be in the Saline High School Parking Lot near the aquatic center, west side of the high school, where we will have pizza and snacks from about 5:30-6:30pm. We will then walk as a group to the stadium where students will form a tunnel on the field for the football players to run through as they enter. Please leave your own footballs at home for the safety of everyone and exit the field as soon as we are finished with the tunnel. Pleasant Ridge students and families will be gathering on the northeast hill next to the visitor’s stands if you’d like to watch the game with classmates!

The football game kicks off at 7pm – tickets are available to purchase for $6 here: https://gofan.co/app/events/685259?schoolId=MI10078 – you must purchase online ahead of time. Students under the age of 12 get in free with the paid admission of an adult. Students must be accompanied by an adult for this event, it is not a drop-off event. 

**Please RSVP for the PR Tailgate at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f4daaaa22a0fc1-pronthe **

Today we kicked off our Fall Fundraiser which is our biggest fundraiser of the year!  

This event funds our annual budget which helps provide an enriching student experience throughout the year!  With your help the PTA is able to support a variety of events and donations which include transportation for field trips, author visits, new books, teacher donations, student parties and activities, assemblies, special mini grants and strategic grants, teacher appreciation activities, field day, family enrichment events and more!

Last year our students had so much fun at the “Color Me Silly Fun Run”, we decided to have the same theme again this year!  Students and staff are encouraged to dress as silly, colorful, and bright on the day of the run, September 30th – promoting the more they raise the sillier they will dress.  

This year all students will receive their own fundraising site which you can personalize to send to your family and friends.  From here you can also track the donations your child receives!  Please help us reach our goal by supporting the Fun Run. If every student raises just $50 we would reach our goal!  That is just five $10 donations!  Some can easily raise $100 or more by just sharing their page by email, text or social media.  

Register your students today!
