The 2026 - 2027 P.R.I.D.E. Drive is Now Underway!

Our goal this year is to raise $13,000 to support enrichment programs for the 2026-2027 school year. 

Donations support our kids as they develop their P.R.I.D.E =  Personal responsibility, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Excellence. This is the PTA's main fundraiser.

This fundraiser purchases classroom materials, brings in authors, upgrades science equipment, makes history come alive with memorable performers, underwrites grade level socials, builds the values of P.R.I.D.E. with programs and assemblies and more.

WHAT IS THE P.R.I.D.E. DRIVE?

The ERMS P.R.I.D.E. Drive is our annual fundraising drive. It funds the programs, celebrations, resources, and experiences that the PTA provides to the ERMS community throughout the school year. It is a year-long fundraising effort that sponsors every experience, celebration, and support throughout the year. Think of the P.R.I.D.E. Drive is one large fund where all monetary PTA contributions and donations go to be split up into five distinct community efforts.

How Can I Contribute?

The PTA is dependent on parents' and guardians' time, money and/or community to achieve what we do!

Monetary contributions are welcomed and requested at any time, and every donation helps further the PTA's mission to create memorable moments for the East Ridge community. Monetary contributions are a great option for the busy families who are limited in contributing their time or other efforts.

Time contributions are equally important! We are always looking for more volunteers to help keep the PTA efforts running. Whether you are interested in volunteering in an annual position on the PTA Board or committee, or have a little extra time to volunteer to help with specific events, we so appreciate our volunteers and their time sacrifice!

Finally, one of the best ways to help the PTA is to be vocal and community-minded! Share a newsletter, encourage families to join in and engage with the PTA, help spread our efforts through the community. Parents and guardians are the leading drivers of a strong school community.
