Room Parent Round Up
Right around the corner is Door Decorating! This event is a community event and we encourage all Green Ridge families to come out and help decorate! This is an event that teachers and students love!! There are classroom doors and Non- classroom doors. If you would like to help decorate your child's classroom door please contact your room parent who will be more than happy to let you in on the fun! If you are interesting in helping decorate a Non-classroom door you can do so by clicking the Door Decorating TTSU link below.
We cant wait to see how creative our Green Ridge Community can be this year! Please mark your calendars November 21 starting at 4:30 and bring the entire family!
This year we are adding another element of fun to door decorating...the STUDENTS of GREEN RIDGE! The students will be judging the classroom doors and ranking their favorite (they can not vote for their own door)! The results will be announced at the Winter Party!
If you were unable to volunteer at the Fall Party and don't want to miss out on the fun, you are in luck! Mark you calendar for the Winter Party!!

We understand that it can be extremely difficult to ask for help, but careful considerations are made to maintain confidentiality throughout this process.
As we know, times can get hard for any of us at any time and some of our Green Ridge Families are in need of help. In the spirit of the holidays we are once again looking for families who would like to help others in our Green Ridge community who are not so fortunate. There are two ways you can help this year: Gift Cards and/or Sponsor a family. If you would like to help volunteer to support other Green Ridge families, please click the link titled Holiday Sharing Volunteers and complete the form.
