Ways to Support Ritchie Park PTA

Membership

Support RPES by joining the PTA—your membership helps fund events and programs all year. It’s a simple way to stay involved and make a difference in our school community.

Volunteer

Get involved by volunteering with the PTA—we have opportunities throughout the year, big and small. It’s a great way to support the school, meet other parents, and make a difference.

School Spiritwear

Show your school spirit with RPES gear—customize your items and wear them with pride! A portion of every purchase supports the PTA and helps fund school programs.

Restaurant Nights

Take a night off from cooking and join us for Restaurant Nights throughout the year! We partner with local restaurants, and a portion of the sales is donated back to the PTA.

Thank You For Your Support

Here are just some of the ways that your donations are used to support the Ritchie Park ES Staff, Students, and Community:

Fun and Enriching Events: We organize and fund activities like Cultural Arts Assemblies, the Arts & Science Fair, and Cultural Heritage Night to engage students and celebrate our community's diversity.
After-School Opportunities: We organize after-school programs and sponsor scholarships so students in need can participate in these programs, including drama, yoga, robotics, and cooking classes to spark creativity and build skills.
Classroom Support: We provide school supplies, fund necessary equipment, and reimburse teachers for out-of-pocket expenses.
Community-Building Activities: Your support helps us host events like the back-to-school picnic, parent/staff game night, bingo night, skate night, and more!
Appreciation for Teachers and Staff: We show gratitude with lunches, snacks, and Staff Appreciation Week, and we even help refresh the teacher's lounge.
