RTH is a family event, a night out where children and parents, teachers and staff share their time and their fun. It is also the PTO's main fundraiser of Ridgeview Elementary School and it's entirely run by volunteers.

Where does the money go?

In November 2007 the school's playground was expanded to include an Infinity Web and a See Saw Snake. The funds came mostly from 06,07 and 08 Rock the House Fundraisers and were supported by the Dunlap district.

In the past  RTH money has also been used to purchase books for the Level Reading Program and additional AR tests, to support the 5th graders trip to Space Camp in Bloomington every year, and to subsidize the 5th grade year end party, to help teachers with some extra allowance for class materials, to acquire general office supplies for faculty use, to pay for educational assemblies, to celebrate field day, etc. The school also purchased a few new picture frames for kids' art, a popcorn machine, and materials for class projects.

 

Thank you to all volunteers, and families who are donated their time and talents to this school's fundraiser! We couldn't possibly have done it without you!

 

Rock the House 2008 raised a net profit of

$15,000

The PTO board will vote on April 14 on how to spend some of the profits from RTH. Monies already earmarked include:

$3,000 towards Teachers' Classrooms

$800 Towards The Fifth Grade Trip to the Challenger Learning Center

$2,500 towards library books and AR tests

+  $500 5th grade year end party

More Thanks

A Special THANK YOU goes to all the parents and guest that came to Rock the House to enjoy the evening with the RES families and their own. It was so much fun to see so many familiar faces. Without you Rock the House would be meaningless.

Another huge THANK YOU to our wonderful sponsors. Don't forget to mention it when you stop by.

Great Opportunities...

Parents and Teachers, be sure to volunteer for RTH next year. It takes a lot of people to run this great event. We had a wonderful time organizing this event.
