Leslie Strong '85
Leslie Strong '85 recently returned to campus to speak with the girls in grades 9-12 about realizing their values, how to work and live by their values, how to create inspiring visions, and how to function at a level they never thought was possible. Please click here to view a clip from her presentation.

Remembrance Day at Ridley
On November 11th for our Remembrance Day service we had the privilege of having three honoured guests in our presence. Mr. Roberts is a British Commander who served during World War II under the Royal Ulster Rifles and landed on D-Day as a paratrooper. Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams came from Maryland to attend the service and to return a piece of Ridley history - a bugle that was dedicated to Lt. William D.P. Jarvis who graduated from Ridley College in 1911 and died in World War I. Please click here to read more and to view video and pictures from the service.
