Red Ribbon Week Fundraiser and RRW at Ruby’s – Thank You!

To Our Wonderful Vista Verde Families!

Our Red Ribbon Week was a huge success and it couldn’t have happened without your support and generosity. PTA wanted to thank all Vista Verde staff, students and parents for all of your hard work in supporting our school’s Red Ribbon Week. As a school we surpassed our fundraising goal and participation at Red Ribbon week @ Ruby’s. PTA is very excited to share our schools fundraiser and Ruby’s Participation results!

Pennies for Prevention:

Last year Vista Verde raised $30.00 towards prevention education during Red Ribbon Week. This year, Vista Verde’s school goal was to raise 50 pounds worth of pennies. Our school went above and beyond our original goal and brought in a total of 474 pounds of pennies! Vista Verde will receive $474.00 dollars toward prevention education and all of this was possible because of your generosity.

Pennies for Prevention Raffle Winner:

Congratulations to this year’s Red Ribbon Week Pennies for Prevention Winner: first grader, Alesia, in Ms. Gornbein’s class. She will receive the “Choose Kind” T-shirt! PTA wanted to thank Alesia and all of our Vista Verde students for their participation in our Pennies for Prevention Fundraiser and supporting our school’s commitment to making healthy choices.

Red Ribbon Week @ Ruby’s:
An extra special thank you to all our families who made it out to our Red Ribbon Week Event at Ruby’s! It was great to see all our families together enjoying an evening out to celebrate Red Ribbon Week. The turnout was incredible and because of your support we brought in a total of $1310.00 towards participation in the Red Ribbon Week @ Ruby’s contest.
