As we embark on another year of learning and growth, we are reaching out to invite you to be part of the integral component of DRA: our School Fundraising Committee.
Our school’s fundraising efforts play a crucial role in enhancing the educational experience for our children. With your involvement, we can create memorable events, support valuable programs, and enrich our students' academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Why Join the Fundraising Committee?
Make an Impact: Your participation directly benefits our students and school community.
Collaborate and Connect: Work alongside other dedicated parents and school staff to plan and execute exciting events.
Share Your Skills: Whether you have a talent for organization, creativity, or communication, your skills will be invaluable.
Be a Role Model: Show your children the importance of community involvement and giving back.
How to Get Involved:
1. Attend Our Kickoff Meeting: We’ll be holding an introductory meeting on Wednesday, September 11th at 4:30 pm in Room 109. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our goals, upcoming events, and how you can contribute.
2. Sign Up: If you’re unable to attend the meeting but are interested, please let us know by emailing Mrs. Acosta, at eacosta@dominionridgek12.com or calling 540-635-6799. We’ll provide you with all the information you need to get started.
We believe that together, we can achieve great things and create a positive, enriching environment for our students. Your enthusiasm and support will be key to our success, and we look forward to working with you.

At Dominion Ridge, we prioritize serving one another within our school, contributing to our community, and making a Christ-like impact globally. This year our global contribution will support missionaries to the indigenous Yanomamo Indian tribe in the jungles of the Amazon. Mission Padamo has served in the Amazon since 1953. Their objective is simple, feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and teach Christ to everyone.
