    purpose

    Work to bring positive change to the world as modeled by our Ridge Point student, Alyssa Ferguson.

     

     

    allysa's story

    The wonderful thing about Alyssa's story is that when she was in middle school, she read a book called "A long walk to water". This book impacted Allysa tremendously. It was about kids in Africa needing wells for clean drinking water. When the sunshine kids came to her to think about a special gift she would want such as meet someone famous, go on a trip, Alyssa gave away her wish. Instead, she asked that they build wells in Africa on her behalf, so these children would have access to clean drinking water. Alyssa past away surrounded by her loved ones in her freshmen year. 

     

     

    Values such as this one are the ones we would like to instill in our school culture and community. Alyssa left us with that inspiring story and a song written to honor her by Matthew West. We play this song every Monday in our school to elicit on our students this frame of mind; we want to pass our gifts along, we want to treat people with respect the way she would have.

    World Changers Lyrics

    In a world full of dirt, you're a diamond
    In a world full of hurt, you're smiling
    In the darkest dark, you're shining
    Shining like a shooting star
    You live your life like you're here on a mission
    Yeah, you're not afraid of being different
    You hear the doubters, but you don't listen
    'Cause you know who you are
    Yeah, you know who you are


    This is to all the world changers
    Keep walking on, don't you ever
    Lose that fire in your soul
    Lose that fire in your soul
    This is to all the world changers
    You know you are history makers
    This world's never gonna change you
    You're gonna change
    You're gonna change
    The world (yeah)
    The world


    In the face of fear, you're fearless
    You don't care about being famous
    And the world may never know your name but
    The world will never be the same 'cause
    From the ends of the earth to your hometown
    To the lost, to the hurt, to the broke down
    You're the arms wide open
    A love that's showing every one of us the way now
    Yeah yeah yeah


    This is to all the world changers
    Keep walking on, don't you ever
    Lose that fire in your soul
    Lose that fire in your soul
    This is to all the world changers
    You know you are history makers
    This world's never gonna change you
    You're gonna change
    You're gonna change
    The world (yeah)
    The world (You're gonna change the world)


    Keep on fighting the fight
    Keep on running the race
    Keep on winning the crown
    Keep on keeping the faith
    Keep on leading with love
    Keep on standing your ground
    Don't you ever give up


    You give it all, you give it all
    And when you're knocked to the ground, you don't stay down
    You get up, you get up
    And you fight another day
    You're a hero unsung
    But the world knows a hero when it sees one
