Dear Lake Ridge Academy Families, Alumni and Friends,

Congratulations to our newest members of the Lake Ridge Academy Hall of Fame, Biff Baker '86, Byron Fouts, and Chann and Ed Spellman. Thank you all  who participated in this year's auction and Reunion Week! Many volunteers, alumni, friends, and families bid from around the world in addition to those who were able to join us in person for the events last month.

If you sponsored the auction, procured items, donated gift cards, contributed a bottle of wine for the wine pull, attended as a guest, bid from home, helped to plan the event, staffed the auction, or purchased an auction item,  YOU  raised over $382,000 in support of our teachers and students.

Strong financial support from such a large number of families in the school's community helps to propel Lake Ridge Academy forward  as a premier K-12 educational institution. Thank you for all that you do for our wonderful school!

Thank you,

Leannie McAllister
Assistant Director of Development and
Alumni Relations

Reunion Week Highlights

More than 100 alumni joined us for Reunion Week  events last month. In addition to the big gathering at the Auction Gala, alumni joined teachers for lunch on campus, beat the varsity team at the Thanksgiving Game, toured the new Kemper Science and Engineering building, and celebrated together at Bold Food and Drink downtown. 

Thanksgiving Games

If you have a photo to share, please post your favorite on Facebook for all to enjoy. 

Thank you for joining us, alumni. Please return again soon!

Gift from the Heart Raises $124,450

During the Auction Gala's traditional Gift from the Heart live auction, more than 80 donors raised their bid paddles to help the school's transportation needs. 

Supporting all of our amazing students and a crew of three maintenance staff whose tenure at Lake Ridge Academy totals nearly 50 years, donors helped to purchase a new truck with detachable snow plow, Kubota vehicle, and 72-passenger bus. 

Thank you, donors!
