Triple play at Ridgecrest Elementary

Ridgecrest Elementary’s Triple Play!

Friday, June 14th, 6:00-8:00pm

Sponsored by the Ridgecrest PTA, the evening of June 14 features three events in one. You can volunteer, donate items, and work at the events, or you can just attend.

Taste of Ridgecrest

This is a free event. Please bring a family favorite dish to share. This is a fun night celebrating the diversity we have in our community. Feel free to dress up in attire showcasing your heritage. We will have fun activities and performances from different cultures, too!

Many volunteers are needed for the craft tables. Shifts are 5:00-7:00pm and 6:00-8:00pm. Contact Melissa Gates.

Silent Auction

There will be many great items to bid on in the Silent Auction, including classroom-themed gift baskets and experiences. It will be a great evening of fun for all! 

Help out at our Work Party to organize the auction items on Thursday, June 13 from 6:30-9:00pm. Volunteers will be needed for many different jobs, including closing out the silent auction tables.

We are still in need of items/experiences for the Auction. If you have something to donate, or if you would like to volunteer your time, contact Anne Musquiz.

Book Exchange

Have gently used books that your children don’t read? Save them for the 2nd Annual Book Exchange on June 14 at the Taste of Ridgecrest, and the following Monday, June 17. On June 12 and 13, students and families can bring in a maximum of 10 clean, gently used books per student to the library and receive a Book Buck for every donated book. During the Exchange, students can buy a donated book for one Book Buck. If you bring in the maximum of 10 books, you will get 11 Book Bucks in return. Books must be:

• An “Everybody” Book: A chapter book or a non-fiction book (no board books)
• A title that Ridgecrest K-6 students will read (no toddler or adult books)
• In good, clean shape with few rips, tears, or bent pages, or covers

It's the end of the school year now, but for next fall, remember that you do not have to have children in school to be a member of the PTA and support your local school.
