Saver's Donation Collection
Each year, the Nature Ridge PTO collects gently used items to be donated to our local Saver's store. In return, Saver's weighs our donation, and pays us for our contribution! Last year, we donated over 2,000 pounds of goods and earned $340. We were able to use that money to spoil the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week in May!
This year, we will be collecting from April 2nd-12th. There will be boxes at the front of the building for your donations.
Thank you for supporting our school and our community!
Plastic Bag Collection Contest!
In honor of Earth Day, we will be collecting plastic bags throughout the month of April, and turning them in to be recycled! To make it a little more interesting, we will be competing with Otter Creek School to see who can recycle more bags! Stay tuned for more details!
Candy Bar Bingo!
What/When: Join us for a fun-filled evening of Bingo on Thursday, April 4th from 5:30-7 pm.
Who: All Nature Ridge students, families, and friends are invited!
Where: Nature Ridge School
How: Bring one full-size candy bar (or bag) to receive a Bingo card! Bingo winners will get to choose a candy bar (or two)!
**Don't miss your chance to hear your very own Nature Ridge teachers/staff call out the Bingo numbers!**
