Kindergarten Continuation Ceremonies

Games Day - Volunteers Needed - May 18th

There are several spots still open! Feel free to sign up for one or two! It's a fun event!

25/26 Games Day - May 18th

Be a Games Day Hero! 🏆 Our students have been working hard all year, and it’s finally time to celebrate! We are looking for energetic volunteers to host activity stations at this year’s Games Day. Whether you're a master of water games or a balancing eggs on spoons pro, we need your help to keep the fun moving. If there is poor weather, we will continue to have our event, but we'll move it inside. Your game (or something similar) will be housed in a classroom. If that happens, the students will move around the building instead of moving around the outsidea areas. No experience is necessary—just bring your school spirit! Simply choose a time slot and station below. Your support makes this day unforgettable for the kids.

Thank you for supporting the Ridwell Plastic Film Challenge!

Sign up for Ridwell at Home

Every new member helps the mission of wasting less! You can sign up through our school's webpage (https://get.ridwell.com/mve-school).

The school will earn free plastic film pickups for the '26/'27 school year if 10 new members sign up. We already have 2 families who signed up. Can we get 8 more to sign-up?

Ridwell accepts many items that typical recycling won't take. This includes batteries, light bulbs, plus many other items, and of course plastic film!
Ridwell memberships are month-to-month and can be cancelled at anytime.
