| Chick-fil-A Fundraiser and Open House |
On Tuesday, August 23, the Ridgecroft campus was hopping as it hosted the first two major events of the school year, PTO's Chick-fil-A fundraiser and the Back to School Open House. The carpool lane transformed into a Drive-Thru as people throughout the area stopped by to pick up dinner for their families. The fundraiser was such a success that the PTO is planning another Chick-fil-A night in September. Meanwhile, inside the school, parents met and talked with teachers and browsed spirit wear during the open house. What a fun night!

| Spring Break Mission Trip to Nicaragua |
Ridgecroft's Fellowship of Christian Athletes, along with sponsors Megan Somers and Susan Oliver, is planning a Spring Break mission trip to Nicaragua with Students International (SI). SI is a Christian mission organization serving the poor of Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Fiji. Students will work in their choice of several different areas of ministry, including education, social work, health care, occupational therapy, sports, and agriculture. To learn more about SI, visit www.stint.com or click here to watch a video about the group.
The trip will take place April 15 - 23, 2017 and will cost approximately $1,800 per participant. Students will be fundraising for the trip and there is also a Go Fund Me page set up to help with expenses. All donations are tax deductible and will be divided equally among trip participants. For more information, contact Megan Somers or Susan Oliver.

Clipping Cash!
Each of those little pink squares may be worth only 10 cents, but they add up quickly. During the 2015-16 school year, Ridgecroft earned more than $1000 from Box Tops for Education! The PTO used that money to provide teachers with classroom equipment like LCD projectors, file cabinets, and much more. So, keep clipping!

Turn your Groceries into Greenbacks!
You can help Ridgecroft just by doing your usual grocery shopping. Buy Food Lion gift cards from Cindy Burgess in the business office and Ridgecroft will receive 5% of your total purchase.
