“We were blessed to have Ms. Scruggs on our team at Piedmont. She was truly a tremendous asset for our school, she loved each one of her students with her heart and soul. My wife, Kelly was very fortunate to work with her at South Point. Ms. Scruggs always had a smile on her face and she positively impacted all who knew her. She will be missed by her colleagues, students, and friends. Rest in His arms Mrs. Scruggs. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Scruggs family. Ernie & Kelly Bridges”
