Vista Ridge High School PTSA News

Welcome to Issue 3 of the VRHS PTSA Newsletter!

Happy November, Ranger families!

As we welcome a new month, we have so much to be thankful for, especially our wonderful Ranger community! We are grateful for our families, teachers, staff, and volunteers who make Vista Ridge such a special place.

November is a time for giving thanks, and what better way to show our appreciation than by giving back? Our Staff Thanksgiving Feast is coming up on November 12, and we need your help to make it special! Whether you bring a dish, donate an item, or volunteer your time, every little bit makes a difference.

We also have some important school dates coming up, including picture retakes, our last fall pep rally, and Thanksgiving break. Be sure to check out this week's updates so you don't miss anything!

And don't forget to follow and share our PTSA social media pages with other Ranger families. Help us grow our community, spread the word, and encourage more families to get involved!

Let's make November a month full of gratitude, kindness, and Ranger spirit!

Together. We Rise.

November is all about giving thanks, and we can't think of a better way to show our appreciation than celebrating our wonderful teachers and staff at our Staff Thanksgiving Feast on November 12!

The school provides the main course, staff bring the sides, and we need our Ranger families to help make the rest happen!

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Plates, napkins, tablecloths, fall decorations, or drinks.

• Volunteer: Help set up, serve during both lunch periods, or clean up.

Pick an item to bring or a shift that works for you! Paper goods and tablecloths can be dropped off at the front office a day or two early. All other items should arrive the morning of the feast.

Whether you donate an item or give a little of your time, your kindness helps us make this day special for the people who do so much for our kids.

Let's show our staff some Ranger love and gratitude!

Vista Ridge teachers and staff are sharing what their classrooms need. Please take a moment to see how you can help. Items ship straight to teacher or staff member, so your part takes about as long as ordering socks!

Have you had a chance to check out our new PTSA website? It's where you'll find upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, staff wish lists, membership, newsletters, and more!
