What is Parents for Education?

Welcome to the 2022-23 school year at Meadow Ridge.  We are looking forward to an exciting year full of learning and fun.  You might be wondering what you can do to help make this the best school year for your child or children.  Did you know that there is a way to help make the school experience better for everyone in which you can help when your schedule allows?  Did you know that if you have a special talent in event planning or organization, you can assist this wonderful school with your specific talent?  This amazing organization is the Meadow Ridge Parents for Education (PFE for short).

Meadow Ridge PFE works in conjunction with Orland School District 135 PFE to enhance the school experience for all students and staff.  Meadow Ridge PFE meetings occur one Tuesday per month at 9:15am in the multipurpose room at Meadow Ridge.  Zoom links and meeting agendas will be sent via email.  Please email us at pfemeadowridge@gmail.com with the subject line “Add to List” to be added to this contact list (members from last year please repeat this step so you are put on the 2022-23 contact list).  At these meetings, we discuss fundraising initiatives, various functions at the school sponsored by the PFE and budgetary decisions.  All it takes to be a part of this group is membership in the PFE.  Membership is $15 per family.  You can easily pay for membership in Skyward if you did not do it at registration or use our family membership form.

Even if you can't attend all meetings or events, your membership is greatly appreciated!  Last year, the Meadow Ridge PFE supported a wide variety of items and events to enrich our school.  Did you know that support from the PFE makes possible items like subscriptions to BrainPop, popcorn parties and other holiday party treats, Day of Play, science week night, family reading night, school assemblies and author visits to the school?  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at pfemeadowridge@gmail.com!  New members are always welcome, we look forward to seeing you this year!

Be sure to keep up to date by following us on Facebook and Twitter at @Meadow Ridge PFE.

Thanks for your time,
