You've been asking how you can help on FunDay-now is the time to sign up! If
you are available to work a 2 hours game shift on FunDay it would be greatly
ap-preciated. It takes approximately 125-150 volunteers the day of FunDay to run
all the activities. Please remember we ask Unit A students to remain with an
adult during FunDay. If you can't help out the day of or won't be able to be at
FunDay but would still like to help in some way, this link also contains items we
need to run the games, such a batteries, combs, etc. Sign up now to get your
fa-vorite spot!

Another way to help is to start setting aside books for the book/cake walk,
stuffed animals for the animal ring toss and just about anything else you'd like
to donate (other than clothing) to sell in the Country Store. We also need plenty
of bakers for the book/cake walk, dessert items for lunch or for sale in the
Country Store.

Don’t forget to send in Big Drawing
tick-ets to your child’s homeroom teacher and

during your conference.

Did you know Ridgeway has a Silent Auction and Big Drawing as part of the Ridgeway Fun Day? These major money-makers are not possible without donations of goods and services. We always are looking for help from families as we gather these donations. If you have a business connection, please consider reaching out to them. If you have new, unwanted items in your home or unused gift cards, they make great additions to our baskets and packages. Donating services you provide is also great. In the past, families have donated baked goods, childcare, photo shoots and other talents. Please contact Amanda Fues at [email protected] if you have items to donate, ideas or questions.
