North Ridgeville City Board accepts dozens of community donations for school events and programs
Summary
The Board accepted monetary and in‑kind donations supporting athletics, band, music programs and the district 'Monster Mash' event, including $2,246 from the North Ridgeville Soccer League and multiple large food donations. The presenter thanked the community for strong support.
The North Ridgeville City Board of Education voted to accept a set of monetary and in‑kind donations at its Nov. 4 meeting, ranging from cash gifts to substantial food and equipment contributions for school programs. The presenter read a list of 12 donors and several booster/parent groups and recommended acceptance with appreciation.
Items listed included a $200 gift from Rich Barber, $700 from Dairy Queen, $150 from the Rick Glatcomb Memorial Foundation, 12 cases of water from beverage distributors, multiple pizza and food contributions (e.g., Angelina’s, Romeo’s, Marco’s), 225 scoops of ice cream from Culver’s, 144 cookies from Crumble Cookie, and a $1,000 donation from the North Regional Corn Festival Committee toward girls’ soccer. The North Ridgeville Soccer League contributed $2,246 toward the girls’ soccer team and the Liberty PTO gave $703 for staff appreciation. Several in‑kind instrument donations were noted: a lightly used Yamaha trumpet, a gently used violin, and a Pearl Percussion chromatic glockenspiel donated to the music department. The presenter said, “We thank our community for the tremendous support of our schools and students.”
Board members asked a brief follow‑up about the Monster Mash event’s attendance and heard that about seven districts participated and roughly 150 students and staff attended. The presenter said the event’s direct cost to the district was minimal because of donations and funds already collected by school fundraising groups.
