CALLING ALL HEROES!!! Last September, River Ridge held their first Impact Life blood drive and were able to collect 22 units! We are hosting another drive on Friday, March 13th and hoping to collect even more! We need to collect at least 20 units to be eligible for the Life Savings grant to use to fund a student scholarship, make a charitable donation, provide for a classroom/curriculum need, or advance the Impact Life mission. Please schedule your blood donation appointment now! The need for blood is significant. One pint of whole blood can save three or more lives! This is the direct link to our sign-up page:

Skiing update:
Considering Monday’s expected temps…those who have already purchased online tickets or if you plan to yet, can come out on Monday if you choose; however, if you think it is too warm, Chestnut will honor those tickets to be used any other day except a Saturday, throughout the rest of ski season.
