Awe in the building

This week with staff we have seen some great appreciation towards staff. In acknowledging that we are all working a lot and seeing students develop into awesome humans every day we wanted to look around our building to what we could find as staff that are "awe" inspiring parts of the building. Below are some pictures of some of that inspiration provided by your students.
AWE

School Supplies Ask for 2025-26SY

Hello Wonderful Camas Ridge Community,

For the past few years, our school district has generously provided basic school supplies for students. Unfortunately, this support will not continue moving forward, so we are exploring the best way to meet our students' needs as a community.

We are asking families to consider a donation of $20.00 per student to help cover supplies for next year. If you are able to give a little more, your generosity would be greatly appreciated and will go directly toward supporting classrooms.

To ensure supplies are ready for next fall, we are starting our donation drive now. All contributions collected this spring will be pooled and distributed among classrooms based on enrollment numbers.

If now isn’t the right time for you, no worries — we will also be reaching out again in the fall. If you are able to donate please look out for a Parentsquare that will come out next week with a link to school pay to allow for parents to donate to the school directly.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and consideration. Together, we can make sure every student starts the year with what they need to succeed!
Warmly,
Principal Hobie
