This fall, we’re rallying our community to raise $70,000—an average of $100 per child—to fund the enrichment experiences that make Ruffin Ridley extraordinary. These are the moments that spark curiosity, build confidence, and connect our children to the world beyond the classroom.
Every dollar you give goes directly to our kids.
No overhead. No fluff. Just meaningful opportunities that fall outside the school budget but make a world of difference.
Here’s what your donation makes possible:
- 🚌 Field trips and guest speakers that bring learning to life and connect classroom lessons to the real world
- 📚 Classroom libraries and learning games tailored to diverse interests and needs, helping every child thrive
- 🌱 Creative projects like robotic arms, school gardens, and collaborative challenges that build critical thinking and teamwork
- 🖍️ Teacher setup funds for welcoming, engaging classrooms filled with favorite books, calming tools, and GoNoodle subscriptions
- 🏃 After-school sports like flag football, kickball, and running clubs that build community and confidence
- ✊Middle school club like Discovering Justice
We ask families to contribute $100 per child, but every gift matters. Whether you give $10 or $1,000, your support fuels the programs that make Ruffin Ridley a place where children feel seen, inspired, and excited to learn.
When you give, you’re not just funding enrichment—you’re affirming our shared belief in the power of public education and the strength of our community.
🧡 Let’s show our kids what’s possible when we come together.
