Many hands make light work! Our annual Day of Service brought together students, teachers, and parent volunteers to give back to a place that means so much to us: our Lake Ridge Academy campus! From caring for our grounds to tackling special projects, our community spent the day working side by side to make a difference. It was a wonderful reminder that caring for our school goes beyond the classroom and includes everyone of us. We’re SO grateful to everyone who shared their time, energy, and enthusiasm to help make our campus an even better place to learn and grow!

TGWBIS: Thank Goodness We’re Back In School is a favorite LRA Upper School tradition! This beginning-of-the-year field day is a great way for students to build connections, show up for one another, and have tons of fun along the way. Students brought plenty of energy, teamwork, and House spirit to a day filled with Dodgeball, Pictionary, a whole-campus scavenger hunt, Tug-of-War, and lots of friendly competition!

Our Middle School students kicked off the school year with their annual Community Building Days! These fun-filled days offer students a chance to step outside the traditional classroom and focus on something just as important: getting to know one another. Through team-building activities, shared experiences, plenty of laughter and time together, students are building connections that will help shape their Middle School experience throughout the year. At LRA, we believe students learn best when they feel known, supported, and connected. What better way to start the year than by building that community together? 💙💛
