PTA Sponsored Clothing Drive
We're guessing you may have spent some time over the holiday break going through closets to gather old or outgrown items and to make room for new items. If that's the case, please consider donating to our winter clothing drive next week! It's a great opportunity to join us in helping families in need during these difficult times. We will be accepting gently used clothing items and shoes for men, women and children as well as new, disposable diapers. All donations will go to the Orange County Rescue Mission.
WHEN: January 11th-15th (IVA families- Please drop-off before 8:00 am or after 3:00 pm)
HOW: Please send your bag(s) of clothing and/or diapers with your student in the morning and he/she can place the items in the bins provided at the front of the school.
*Appropriate measures will be taken to minimize the spread of Covid-19
Roadrunner Staff Spotlight
Hello everyone! I'm Jeannine Arya and I am your School Nurse at Loma Ridge. I also spend a lot of time at your neighboring school, Portola Springs Elementary. I have two little ones at home who just love to keep me busy. I enjoy gardening and collecting different types of succulents. My hobbies include cooking, baking, and jogging. I am so grateful for all the students and school community at Loma Ridge. I'm truly thankful for all the smiles and kindness that are shown daily.
