Where do I even begin?!? Fine Arts Day was truly amazing and showed the heart of Ridglea Hills Elementary! Fine Arts Day chair, Robyn Urbani, and her committee, Maria Sanchez, Laura Hixon, and Meredith Rowsey, did an outstanding job transforming our beloved school into A Kaleidoscope of Colors!!! 

From the beautiful artwork and decorations to Queen Poppy and her Trolls dancing through the halls, yesterday was every bit magical! But none of this could have happened without our volunteers who gave countless hours of their time. 

We thank you all for your dedication in bringing our school to life! You stayed late decorating at night, you helped artists and musicians in every room, you took over lunch and recess duty for teachers, served coffee, breakfast, and lunch…. The list goes on and on! 

Also, a BIG thank you to our talented artists, musicians, AHHS Band and Cheer squad, Monnig Dance, etc. You taught our children to appreciate the arts and showed them how to create them on their own! You all are the true MVPs of Fine Arts Day! 

Thank you to Principal Mrs. Cotton, AP Mrs. Starr, Ms. Brown, and the rest of our administration for caring and loving our kids so much. Yesterday just proved RHE is the epitome of what an early learning environment should be! We are amazing! We are the BEST! We are Ridglea Hills!

We have a beloved tradition at Ridglea Hills - The Talent Show!  And it's BACK!  Live and in person!

What is it?  While it's called a talent show, it's really a night of showcasing talent.  There are no winners or losers.  Only RH students, faculty/staff are eligible.  There might be girls' acts, boys' acts, mixed groups, or solo acts.  Often there will be a grade level group - such as "Third Grade Boys" and they will rehearse and perform a dance together.  A super fun way to get to know other kids (and parents!) in your grade.  Parents sponsor the acts and organize the choreography, costumes - everything.  RHPTA volunteers will organize and produce the show.  It will be FREE to attend for our RH Family.  Sometimes you'll even see a fun act with your favorite teachers in it!  5th graders will have the opportunity to be the emcees and stage crew for the show.  (signups will go home with 5th graders this week!)

Details and Dates:  

Monday, March 21st at 3:15 - Sponsor Meeting and First Chance to register and claim music. (Only one group can use a song, so come to this if you want a popular song!)

Friday, April 1st - this is the absolute deadline to turn in entry forms. Sponsors will also need to turn in permission forms and Music/AV Needs.  

Wednesday, April 20th at 6:00 pm - Sponsor walk-through at Monnig. Required for at least one sponsor per act.  

Wednesday, April 27th - Dress Rehearsal at Monnig

Friday, April 29th at 6:00 pm is the Big Night!  

All forms are available at wwww.rhpta.com.  Minimal copies will be available outside the office.  Watch for more information each week in the Pony Post and on the RHPTA Facebook page.  

Questions?  Contact Michelle Henderson at michellehenderson@sbcglobal.net 

Live Thankfully needs our help! They create weekend snack packs to give out to students/families in need. Below is a flyer to help contribute to Live Thankfully's weekend snack packs.  There is a QR code you may use to scan and donate items.  We give out around 170 snack packs a week, so this will greatly help keep this program going.    

Thank you again for all of your help with Live Thankfully!
