>Friends of Ridge fund no longer pay the cost of busing for field trips at Ridge.
March 22, 2012
Dear Ridge Families,
At the March 27 HSA meeting, the HSA Executive Board will recommend that the Friends of Ridge fund no longer pay the cost of busing for field trips at Ridge. This is a significant change from the Way the funds have been used in the past.
Each year the HSA raises money designated to pay the cost of busing for field trips and for enrichment programs and activities through the Friends of Ridge Campaign. The Executive Board’s proposal would eliminate the need to raise funds for busing only. Busing costs for each field trip would then be paid by the parents ofthe children attending the trips.
We will discuss and vote on the proposal at the HSA meeting on Tuesday March 27 at 1:15 pm in the F acuity Lounge. We understand that not everyone may be able to attend this meeting, so I will make myself available to discuss any questions or comments you have before the meeting.Email me at marymicale@man.com and we will set up a mutually convenient time to speak. Also, if you have a comment or point that you would like to be shared at the meeting, e-mail me and I will read it at the meeting verbatim.
The decision on this issue affects all of us. The Executive Board is interested in what you have to say. We encourage you to attend and for contact us to make sure your voice is heard.
Very truly yours,
President, Ridge HSA
