Honoring Heroes
On Friday, November 10, Ridgecroft's Lower School honored all veterans during its annual Veteran's Day Parade. Students carried handmade decorations and marched around campus while patriotic music streamed over the sound system. Many students invited special veterans or current military personnel in their lives to join them or carried photographs of veterans who were unable to attend. The school community lined the halls to enjoy the parade and gathered at the flagpole for the pledge of allegiance, singing of the national anthem, and a Veterans' Day presentation by the fourth grade.

Soccer Field Improvements
Ridgecroft School would like to thank senior Hunter Hairston, who constructed a scorer's platform for the soccer field as his Eagle Scout project. This platform will provide a sturdy, dry spot to view the game for those who work the scoreboard as well those who wish to video or photograph games.
