CRHS PTSO Update
Greetings Cedar Ridge Families:
PTSO is off to a great start! On Friday we hosted a teacher hot breakfast to kick off the new school year. A sincere thank you to those who were able to make a Paypal donation on our website: http://crhsptso.weebly.com/. Those funds will allow us to continue to provide meals and fund mini-grants for our teachers throughout the academic year.
We were excited to have a few new faces at our August PTSO meeting. Our next meeting will be held on Monday, September 13th at 6:30 PM and all are welcome. A link to a virtual option will also be provided.
We wish everyone a smooth transition back to in-person learning!
Best,
Lauren Drake
President, PTSO

By now, you’ve heard a lot about the SAT. Recent graduates have shared some benefits with us that we think you may like:
“Strengthened my college application”
“Helped me get a scholarship”
“Showed I knew more than my GPA indicated”
“Qualified me for an honors program or special program at college”
So, whether you are looking to apply to college, want a scholarship, or aim to show what you’ve already learned in school, the SAT can help. The next SAT is on October 2.
