Our Student Government has been hard at work preparing for Grizzly Gives Week. This is a very special week for our community, as we join together with our feeder schools, local businesses, and Caruso Family Charities to raise money for a family in need, due to medical hardships. Be sure to read through the Grizzly Gives section below for information on everything that's going on, both at the school and in the community, to support this amazing cause. All proceeds raised at the school events, and a percentage of sales at the designated restaurants, goes toward this cause.

February 15th was National School Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day. Thank you to our amazing SRO, Josh Hays, for his commitment and hard work at ThunderRidge.

Enjoy your weekend,

Sean Patterson

Grizzly Gives Week is just around the corner! Thanks to our incredible partnership with Caruso Family Charities, we have the amazing opportunity to rally together and help those in need. This year, we are honored to support the Murphy family. Hunter, an 11-year-old boy, is courageously fighting osteosarcoma, and together, we can make a difference in his journey.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 in online donations to support Hunter and his family.

ThunderRidge is counting on your support to reach this goal, and show the Murphy family they are not alone. Every donation, big or small, matters. Please consider contributing through the QR code or link below, and help us spread the word. Send this link to as many people as possible. We know that it takes a community working together to achieve this goal. Your generosity, combined with the efforts of others, will make a powerful impact. Together, we can make this happen! Thank you for being part of something so meaningful. Let’s show the strength of our community!
