Last weekend, the quiet summer halls of Green Ridge were filled with laughter, memories, and immense Tiger pride as we hosted the Class of 1981 for their 45th reunion tour!
What an absolute honor it was to walk the building with them and listen as they reminisced about the "good ol' days." From reenacting favorite moments with teachers to sharing stories of friendships that started in elementary school, it was a beautiful reminder of the lifelong impact of a Green Ridge education. They even had the joy of reconnecting with three of their former teachers! Hearing how a single conversation from elementary school can stay with someone for decades is a powerful testament to the amazing responsibility and true blessing it is to be an educator. There really is no other profession quite like it!
Our alumni were incredibly proud of how the school looks today—highly complimenting the cleanliness and our new additions—but more importantly, they were proud of their roots. To all our Green Ridge alumni, thank you for the legacy you leave behind. We hope you always look back on your time here with that same pride!
