Good morning Ridgely families!
You're invited to become a member of the RMS PTA, because when we join together, our students benefit❤️🖤

Last year, more than 400 Ridgely Middle School families, staff members, and community supporters joined the PTA — and together, we made a real difference for our students and our school.
Here are just a few of the things PTA membership helped make possible:
🌍Culture Night — We hosted our first Family Culture Night, bringing families together to share and celebrate the many cultures and countries represented in our Ridgely community.
🚌Student Experiences — We helped fund memorable field trips and experiences, including Medieval Times, the Turkey Hill Experience, and an Orioles game, significantly reducing the cost each student had to pay.
📚Academic & Club Support — We provided funding to every academic department to support classroom initiatives and learning opportunities, while also helping fund the many clubs and activities that give students opportunities to explore their interests and deepen friendships at Ridgely.
❣️Teacher Appreciation & Hospitality — We celebrated and supported our teachers and staff throughout the year with appreciation events, treats, and hospitality that showed our staff how much our community values all they do.
🪴School Beautification — We made a big effort to help make Ridgely a more welcoming place, with new live plants in the planters, extensive grounds clean-up, and work toward new exterior and interior signage.
🍕Family & Parent Events — We brought our community together through restaurant nights and Parents' Nights Out, and hosted workshops to help parents better support their kids both in and out of school.
When you join the PTA, your membership directly supports opportunities, experiences, and programs that benefit our students, support our staff, and strengthen our school community.
Whether you volunteered, attended an event, joined us for a restaurant night, or simply became a member — you were part of making these things happen.
Help us make this year even better!
Join the Ridgely Middle School PTA today.
Every membership matters. Every family makes a difference. Together, we can continue creating opportunities our students will remember.
Thank you for being part of our Ridgely community. We can't wait to see what we accomplish together this year!

If green means go, then Ridgely is ready for school to start! 🚦🍀🧃🔋📗🧪

The PTA hosted a back to school lunch for our faculty and staff today, with green veggies galore and some pizza and cookies on the side. The team was full of energy and are excited to greet your kids on Monday!

And the school grounds are looking gorgeous thanks to the work of the PTA's Beautification Committee. Check out these lovely live planters flanking the Lynncrest entrance, as well as that bright new banner!

We've got a lot of plans in the works for the rest of the year, and count on membership dues, and volunteers, to make it all happen. Please get your membership today: https://ridgelymiddlepta.com/membership/

PBIS Fundraiser at the Orioles
RMS PBIS is the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support program. It is a school-wide initiative that promotes positive behaviors throughout the school by setting expectations, acknowledging when students make good choices, and providing incentives when students do make those good choices. Our Ridgely Stags love it, and you have a chance to support it while watching the O's go up against the Milwaukee Brewers!

Join the fun on Friday, September 18, at 7:05 p.m. Click below to get your tickets ($19.90 each - sections 1, 3, and 5) and use promo code PETE- $5 from every ticket comes back to PBIS!

PTA Membership & Leadership
Joining the PTA is a great way for parents and caregivers to stay informed about what’s happening at school. It’s important to know that while the PTA does offer its members opportunities to volunteer or participate in events, there’s absolutely no pressure to do so. The primary goal is to keep families informed and enhance life at Ridgely for our students and staff.

Ready to Join?

Membership gives you access our exclusive membership newsletter (like this one!) that:
* Amplifies school communications about clubs, sports, etc.
* Informs you about PTA initiatives like spirit wear, volunteer opportunities, PTA meetings, social events, and more
* Alerts you to partner and community activities for students like the Ridgely Activity Center ("the RAC"), camps, etc.
