The mission of East Ridge Elementary PTA is to enrich, encourage, and enlighten. We do this through providing a wide spectrum of educational programs and a network of support for both our students and our staff.
The PTA relies on generous donations from our families to keep programs in place; with your donations funding nearly 50% of our budget. Additionally, corporate matching and smaller fundraisers help to generate funds throughout the year. The greatest source of funding for our school comes from the BeCommunity Auction held with Bear Creek in the Spring. Whether you donate online, in person, or at the auction—rest assured, your donations are being used to their fullest in providing amazing programs and support for the children of East Ridge Elementary.
