Thank you for your consideration!

The Nature Ridge PTO

Wow! After collecting for the whole month of April, Nature Ridge was able to recycle 251 pounds of plastic bags! Unfortunately, Otter Creek came out on top at the end with a total of 303 pounds. However, we can be proud to say we helped to recycle over 550 pounds of plastic bags in honor of Earth Day! Way to go, Nature Ridge!

Remember to bring your plastic bags to local grocery stores for recycling until next year's contest!

It was a great day for Field Day! Thank you to ALL of the volunteers who came out to run the games for the students. Without volunteers, we could NOT have this event! An extra special shout out to Mrs. Niewinski for planning the day, and for getting everything ready!

If you missed the chance to order, you can order here https://www.aacustomwear.com/nature-ridge/ and have your Spirit Wear shipped directly to your home for a flat rate.

The Nature Ridge PTO has created a Google Calendar to keep you up-to-date on all of our events this year! Click here for detailed instructions to add the calendar to your Google account.
