This old Ridge boy to be is so cool
A friendly guy and a real jewel
With a dollop of fun Dan never drops the ball
Polite and respectful, he is always number one
This is only a start and he is not yet done.
Happy, sad.
Sad, happy.
I don’t know which one it is.
I am between emotions in this
dilemma. It will be a big step in my life.
I’ve been so safe at The Ridge ‘where boys are known and grown.’
I will become a small fish in a big pond.
At least I will have a few friends swimming beside me in high school.
There will be so many new challenges I may not know what to do
but at least I will have friends to help me through.

There’s no mountain high enough
For he is always reaching for great heights
He works without fuss
Having fun is a plus
he’ll zooming into the future with great success.

THE END
Here I stand at the end
Of my Ridge journey,
My knowledge I must depend
My mind murky
With all the memories, and,
The friends I am leaving behind.
Someday my children will hear my
stories
With the great teachers I have
been refined
Goodbye farewell
For the next century
My heart will dwell
In this beautiful place full of energy.

Trusted and happy, Jack is always calm and cool
Surrounded by friends, laughter and happy time
He’ll outplay you on the court but a teammate you
can count on
Strong, brave and courageous ridge boy
A beautiful gem heading for greatness
MY RIDGE SCHOOL
As I am sitting by my desk writing this poem,
I still can’t believe this is the end of our Ridge journey-
And how fast three years flew by.
I also can’t believe the moments I’ve had and the friends I’ve made.
Through good and bad.
Through happy and sad
And through all of the English lessons, basketball matches and all the
Camps, I have made friends that I hope to keep for life.
And if there are any parents reading this trying to find the perfect school
for their child,
The Ridge is my strong suggestion, thank you.
