Help Ridgecroft Grow
On Thursday, January 12, at 6:30 PM in the gym, Ridgecroft is hosting an information night about the Opportunity Scholarship and other state resources that help make private school more affordable. Representatives from Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina will be on hand to talk about the Opportunity Scholarship Program and help families check their eligibility for this and other programs. We are asking our current families to help make this event a success. If you know of a family who might be interested in Ridgecroft but sees finances as a barrier, please bring them to this event. As a thank you, the first 40 current Ridgecroft families who register to bring a potential Ridgecroft family to the information night will receive a $50 Duck Thru gas card. To receive the card, you must turn in a completed
pre-registration form in the front office by January 11 and you and the potential family must attend the event. For more information, please contact
Barbara Outland.

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!
