At Mountain Ridge, Thanksgiving is more than a date on the calendar. It is a time to reflect on the connections and growth that define our story and shape who we are becoming. Each day, our students show courage and curiosity; our staff lead with kindness and resilience; our alumni and supporters inspire us with their legacy and ongoing commitment. Together, we create a place where belonging, growth, and hope are not just ideals, but lived experiences.
This season, we pause to honor every voice, every effort, and every act of generosity that strengthens our community. We see the impact of STRONG values in every hallway, on every field, and at every gathering. Our Sources of Strength—friendship, mentors, perseverance, and gratitude—shine brightest when we lift each other up.
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” In that spirit, we celebrate not only our achievements, but the journey we take side by side. Thank you for being a vital part of Mountain Ridge, for making our story possible, and for helping us build a legacy rooted in kindness and purpose.
As you celebrate Thanksgiving, take a moment to express thanks and gratitude to those around you. Your words can lift hearts and strengthen our community with every connection you make.
