PTA Needs You!
Last year Ridgewood had a strong PTA and they are looking to keep the ball rolling this year. Being involved with PTA can look like attending meetings to know what events are coming up in the school , to helping plan events, to designing a flyer, to generating ideas, to running for a PTA office, to volunteering time during school or after school.
For more information please join us for the first meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 16 at 6PM in the Ridgewood Library.
