Give the Gift of Life
The Ridgecroft Beta Club is hosting a blood drive from
8:00 AM-1:00 PM
on
Friday, November 11
. Several blood drives in our area were cancelled because of the recent flooding, so the blood supply in our area is very low right now. Please sign up to donate. There is a sign-up sheet in the office or you can go to
redcross.org
and schedule an appointment. The Red Cross now provides a service called RapidPass that allows donors to complete pre-reading and donation questions online the morning of the drive. When you schedule an appointment, you will receive information on RadipPass. It should speed up the process and cut down on wait time. Students ages 16 and older are eligible to give blood, so please talk with your students about the importance of donating blood.

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 Joannah Lassiter in the business office and Ridgecroft will receive 5% of your total purchase.
