RMS PTA is hosting our 14th annual Panther Pride Direct Donation Drive!

 

The Donation Drive is Ridgeview PTA’s primary annual fundraiser. Our goal this year is to raise $11,000 to help fund our 2024-25 events and programs. With your help, we can continue to support programs and provide resources that our school needs.

 

​​With the generous support of our RMS families and friends over the last 13 years, we have been able to raise enough money to fund programs, events and supplies not covered by the state of Texas.

 

To continue helping enhance the education of Ridgeview students, we are asking families and friends to make a ONE-TIME, TAX-DEDUCTIBLE MONETARY DONATION by Monday, SEPTEMBER 30th

to help enhance the education of Ridgeview students. Please consider making a donation today. It's easy to do; just click the button below!

What is the Money Used For?
100% of all donations go directly to Ridgeview Middle School to provide programs, events and supplies not covered by the state of Texas. This typically includes student events and dances; faculty appreciation programs; grants for teachers; student programs such as P.A.W.S., Panthers In Action, A.L.L.S.T.A.R.S, and Reflections; STAAR testing support; scholarships; and more!

​

Why Should You Give?
With over 1,200 students at Ridgeview Middle School, we need your help to bridge the gap in resources to ensure our children and teachers have the necessary supplies and programs available for a well-rounded, world-class educational experience for all students.

​​

How Much Should You Give?
Any donation is greatly appreciated and is tax-deductible! We recommend $40 per student but welcome any amount that you can provide. Many corporations offer matching donations or volunteer grants that contributions help us out as well.
