- Teacher Mike C.
I love North Ridge Elementary because... I've been a parent and PTA member for several years now and love the sense of community that NRE actively fosters. Every year, the big Unicornucopia festival is not only a big fun school-wide event but also gets a place on the calendar with my own parents, my neighbors' kids from different schools, and countless other members of the community. There are so many other activities that create this same community-wide togetherness - our beautification and gardening days, our spirit nights at local restaurants, and even our green initiatives which involve not only the NRE staff but also the students! When kids see everyone involved in education, they are enriched so much more beyond the normal math and reading work.
