The family of Mrs. Denise White invites any and all of her current and former 1st grade students to attend a drive through/floating "farewell reception" next Friday, June 12th, from 5-7pm at Ridgecroft. Mrs. White's children are hosting this event to honor her retirement and her many years of dedication to Ridgecroft. Mrs. White started teaching 1st grade at Ridgecroft nearly 14 years ago, and she has touched the lives of many of our students. If Mrs. White was your first grade teacher, please make plans to "drive through" or stop, visit with Mrs. White and enjoy light refreshments. Mrs. White's family will adhere to all social distancing guidelines and the CDC regulation that limits outdoor gatherings to 25 people. If you have any special pictures of Mrs. White or your time spent in her classroom, please forward them to her daughter, Virginia at [email protected] by Tuesday, June 9. 

During this year's virtual awards ceremony, Mrs. Outland announced the 2020 Earl U. Capps, Jr. Scholarship winner as Miss Sydney Jones (rising 9th grader).

The Earl U. Capps, Jr. Scholarship is endowed through the North Carolina Community Foundation and in the past, has been given to a graduating Ridegecroft senior to offset college expenses. As of last year, the Capps scholarship now awards $1,000 to one returning Ridgecroft upper school student to be applied to next year's  tuition.

Former Ridgecroft parents, Dr. and Mrs. Khoury, established the Aulander Medical Practice scholarship to address the need for qualified medical professionals in our area. The scholarship is awarded to a Ridgecroft senior who has plans to pursue a career/major in the medical field, with additional consideration given to those who intend to return back to the Roanoke Chowan area. Congratulations to this year's recipients, Skylar Brown and Olivia Daly and a huge thank you to the Khoury family for supporting Ridgecroft students!
