WE NEED YOU!

The past two and a half years have been challenging in so many ways. We all have had to deal with countless challenges and mandates causing a ripple effect to our ways of life. One of the biggest impacts that has affected us here at Ridgecrest has been the loss of our volunteers. Prior to COVID-19, we always had volunteers in our building. We miss you and want you back!

January is the month of the whole child. Here at Ridgecrest, we are always looking at different ways we can enrich our students' learning and school experience. I met with a group of student leaders in December to get their feedback on what activities they would like to do at recess. As a result, I am working on creating a number of clubs and activities that students can participate in at recess. We hope that you might consider leading or supervising one of these enrichment opportunities so that we can extend them to our students.

If you would like to volunteer, please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Click on the link below to complete the survey. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=3mHsgPvyEE-_Ff_XmYCFdKifTXO16KhHjbjpimRSeqZUM0NEMU01R1E5SDNVOUZTR0NFREVIR0NDSS4u

Also, reply to the School Messenger email from me if you have any extra legos, board games, or puzzles to donate. We are collecting some gently used items for our recess enrichments!

If you have not completed a volunteer application, you can do that by clicking on this link https://www.helpcounterweb.com/welcome/apply.php?district=puyallup. Volunteers need show proof of COVID-19 vaccination status or obtain a religious or medical exemption.

Again, we sincerely hope you will consider joining us here at Ridgecrest to provide the best learning experience for all students. Together we are an incredible team, but we cannot do this work without you. We hope to see more of your smiling eyes here at Ridgecrest soon!

In service and support,

Michelle
