Head Room Parents:  We are looking for head room parents! This is a great way to get to know other parents and your child’s peers. HRPs serve as the liaison between classroom parents and the teacher, organizes celebrations, coordinates parent volunteers, and helps during staff appreciation week.

Another thanks to Katie Rieffenberger and Card My Yard Grand Rapids, www.cardmyyard.com for the amazing welcome sign. Pine Ridge families can take 20% off of your sign orders for birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, graduations and anything else you need to celebrate if you book before the end of September with the code PRSCHOOL20. ​

The Pine Ridge Art Show will take place tomorrow evening from 6-7:30pm! Come and check out the amazing art projects our kiddos have been working hard on! ​

A couple of reminders for everyone!
 

1. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last day to turn in your used books for the Book Swap! Please send them in a bag with your child’s name and Teacher on them!
2. If you have extra books you would like to donate, we are accepting them to give to students in need at Sherwood Parks Global Academy (GRPS) so they can start their own book swap! You may turn those books in with your student’s book swap bag or there is a collection box in the front office. We will continue accepting book donations for SPGA until next week!
3. We are looking for volunteers to help set-up for next week’s Art Show on Monday, March 19th in the morning. Check out the link below to sign-up!

Book Swap is this week and we still have some openings to help kiddos shop for “new” books! Check out the sign-up if you would like to help!

​Happy Monday to All!!

The PTO relies on the proceeds of the auction to fund many of the projects needed each year,
and it’s sure to be an event you won’t want to miss! 
 
Here are the Highlights…
Tickets are now on sale!!!  We are using a simple and quick online form this year.  To access it, just go to 

It takes a village to pull off an event like this, and we are looking for more volunteers to join the committee.  If interested, please contact Anne Gorman or Sara Gruber.
​
We are looking for fun, energetic & entertaining parents to be auctioneers.  If making people laugh is your thing – we’ve got just the job for you!!!
 
Visit the Pine Ridge Auction tab on the Pine Ridge PTO website for more info.  And feel free to contact Anne Gorman (anne.c.gorman@gmail.com) or Sara Gruber (saraannegruber@yahoo.com) if you have any questions.

Every year we choose a charity to support for our Holiday meeting. This year we are supporting Family Promise of Grand Rapids mission to help the homeless. If you would like to donate, you can find a complete wish list HERE!
