The PTO is looking to add a few members to the Board next year! We would love to have some new faces on our team! If you're interested in running for a position, or just learning more, please complete this form by Friday, April 5th. A current Board member will reach out to you as soon as possible to answer any questions you may have! https://forms.gle/115wEtzeAUqVGZKt9

*At Nature Ridge, each of the four offices are shared by two Board members. This way, no one is ever left to do anything on their own! Click here to read more information about each of the positions.

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!

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! Check the flyer for a list of accepted items! There will be receptacles throughout the building for your child to drop the bags into. Each week, a team of helpers will collect and weigh the bags. Stay tuned for our weekly totals! If we collect more bags than Otter Creek School, we will win a trophy!

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 Gymnasium

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)!

We were excited to see all of the creative yearbook cover submissions from the students! After Spring Break, the students will vote on their favorite from their grade level. Then, the teachers will choose the best overall! Good Luck to all of the contestants!
