Dear Eagle Ridge Families,

I couldn’t be more proud of our students’ incredible generosity and selflessness during Wish Week. It has been truly heartwarming to witness their active participation in helping to make another child’s wish come true. This week serves as a powerful reminder of the kindness and compassion that make our students—and our school—so special. It fills me with joy to see our community come together for such a meaningful cause.

On a different note, it seems our coyote family has returned to the area around Eagle Ridge. As a precaution, please remind your students to keep their distance and avoid approaching these furry friends if they encounter them while walking to school.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support in creating an environment where care, respect, and community thrive at Eagle Ridge.

Sincerely,

Doug Humphreys

Donate Unwanted Clothes

​

As we kick off the new year, it's the perfect time to clean out your kid's closets and give back! We’ve partnered with Clothes to Kids, a Denver-based organization that provides free clothing to kids ages 3 to 21 in need.

Clothes to Kids isn’t just about handing out clothes—it’s about empowering children to choose items that fit their style and personality. Kids are given coupons to shop for essentials: 5 new pairs of socks, 5 new pairs of underwear, 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 1 pair of shoes, and a coat. Everything is set up like a store, allowing kids to choose what they want and what fits them best.

Your donation will make a real difference by giving kids confidence and choice. Look for our donation bin in the front vestibule. To learn more about Clothes to Kids, check out their website or this brief video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53iD7rzjTWI&t=248s
