Ridge Park Charter Academy

A huge thank you to Paper Clips Ice Cream for joining our middle schoolers for their field day yesterday! Our kids thoroughly enjoyed their treats!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures across the National Heritage Academies community, along with the teachers and staff members who support and inspire students each day! 💐

Thank you for the care, encouragement, and dedication you bring to our schools and communities. Today, we celebrate the many ways you make a lasting impact both in and out of the classroom. 💚

Integrity is shaped through daily actions and consistent choices. At National Heritage Academies, students learn the value of honesty, responsibility, and doing what is right even when it is challenging, and these lessons are strengthened with support at home.

Families can help build integrity by modeling accountability, talking openly about choices, and following through on commitments.

Mental health matters this month and every month. 💙

At National Heritage Academies (NHA®), we believe students do their best when they feel safe, supported, and understood. That means caring for their mental and emotional well-being just as much as their academic growth.

Families play an important role, and we are here to partner with you every step of the way. Visit the link to explore helpful resources for supporting your child and family.

We are so incredibly grateful for our Ms. Emmie and Ms. Ramos! Happy Office Staff Appreciation week to the ladies who make sure everything runs smoothly here at Ridge Park!

Our 8th Grade scholar, Htoo Say, and our Championship Kickball team (The Goats) will be delivering handmade cards created by Htoo to the Helen Devos Children's Hospital on Friday to help brighten someone's day.

The Goats Kickball team raised $2,290.11 for the American Heart Association and they, and Htoo, will be handing out the cards to patients in the Children's hospital.

These 8th graders truly embraced the virtue of compassion as they helped raise money for kids with sick hearts and will be taking time out of their studies to help motivate and share positivity to others that need it the most.
