Parents are still welcome to cheer their students on and enjoy the fun and energy of the event. See you there! Fun Run Schedule: 9:10am - 10am -- 3rd Grade 10:10am - 11am -- 4th Grade 11:10am - 12pm -- 1st Grade 12:40pm - 1:30pm -- Kindergarten 1:45pm - 2:35pm -- 5th Grade 2:40pm - 3:30pm -- 2nd Grade It's Boosterthon time! This is the primary fundraiser for PRES where we earn money to help our school. Stafford County has been in a budget crunch (as shown by our incredibly large 4th and 5th grade classes because of teacher cuts...30-32 students per class). Money for activities, technology, landscaping, and even assemblies is being greatly reduced. The money raised during Boosterthon is used for Park Ridge Elementary only. A portion of the money will be used to update the outdoor play areas...the big and small playgrounds and also the autism playground inside the school building. The remaining money fills those gaps in Mrs. Butler's budget to help our PRES teachers teach the best kids in the world...PRES students! The students will proudly earn their pledge money on Friday, November 14 by running laps. The Fun Run has a festive vibe, with music playing and different lap themes (like airplane arms lap and dancing lap) during the run. The kids have a great time! Families are welcome to come and cheer on their student! Please consider donating and asking family or friends to donate. With your help, PRES will continue to be the best school around! Patriot Pride Inside! Thank you Park Ridge teachers and staff who made the raffle at Chick-Fil-A spirit night so much fun: Mrs. Gilstrap, Mrs. Sleppy, Mrs. Maz, Mrs. Jaques, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Stenzel, Ms. DeIntinis, and Mrs. Whittle.
Our next PRES spirit night will be at Cici's Pizza in January. Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A Wednesday, Oct 22 5-8 pm Take the night off from cooking and support our wonderful school! Look for your favorite teachers to receive a raffle ticket and win fun prizes. Families can use the drive-thru, just mention that you are from Park Ridge Elementary School so PRES can get credit for the purchase. See you at the Chick-Fil-A on Garrisonville Rd. |
