Good evening Pleasant Ridge families, this is Mr. Hubers the principal at Pleasant Ridge with an important announcement. The Fall Festival is Tuesday, October 27th. There was a flyer that went out earlier that stated the festival was on the 25th. This is incorrect. Again, the PTO Fall Festival is Tuesday, October 27th from 5-7. We hope to see all our families at the festival!

The best “dia” of the year! We celebrated the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month today with our 4th Annual Hispanic Heritage Parade!

This year, we were honored to have Assistant Police Chief Nancy Brogdon, the first Latina police chief for the Gastonia Police, and Officer Alvaro Jaimes as our Grand Marshall’s of the parade.

We want to extend a huge thank you to Wow Supermarket in Gastonia and Don Pedro’s Mexican restaurant for their extremely generous donation of cultural treats for our staff and students that walked in the parade today.

We love our community! 💙
