Unity Day - Wear Orange - October 25
Unity Day is a day that Cedar Ridge comes together to take a stance against Bullying. On October 25th, we ask that students wear ORANGE. We will be doing activities to take a stance against bullying.

This is also picture re-take day, so the students should put their orange items in their backpack and they can change after re-takes.
Boosterthon Update

We've met our goal of $26,000 and we are still moving ahead. As donations continue to come in, please ensure that all donations are being sent to the Cedar Ridge office. Thank you for all your continued support. Thank you to parents, families and friends - we couldn't have done it without you! We will have a grand total wrap-up at the end of October.
Rock Project - Volunteers Needed
Cedar Ridge is going to be doing a whole school community project called "Only One You". The students will read the book, Only One You, by Linda Kranz. Please feel free to Google and you will find lots of great ideas. Each child will have a rock to paint during this project.

Step 1: Power Washing Rocks
The rocks must be power washed and we need volunteers for October 30th from 8 - 11 am. This group of parents will power wash the 750 rocks in the AM. The students will pick up their rocks in the afternoon. We need 5 volunteers for this great job.

Step 2: Painting of the Rocks
We are in need of lots of Parent Volunteers to help with this project. The parents would have a table of students and help them paint their rocks. The Volunteers will also be in charge of moving the rocks to a safe location to dry and shellacking the rocks. On the Sign Up Genius it lists the days by classrooms attending - come help on your child's day!

If you are able to volunteer the week of November 10th, please complete the Survey Monkey and sign up for a spot!
Media Center Volunteers Needed
We are always looking for Media Center Volunteers to organize the returned books. We have hundreds of books to check-in and re-shelf daily. Do you have some spare time every week? Do you want to come to Cedar Ridge with another parent to help? Sign up if you can help us! It really is a fun job and a great way to be connected to Cedar Ridge.
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found is growing. Are you missing items? Please stop at the table outside of the gym to find your Lost and Found! Also, don't forget to mark your child's clothing - we will then get the items back to them. All Lost and Found will be packed away on October 31st and donated to the Prop Shop.
