We were incredibly fortunate to welcome 14 amazing boys into the Founders family this year. Helping them adjust and succeed is sometimes tricky as they move from primary school to high school. It is an immense move for a boy and marks a significant turning point in his life. However, they all handled it magnificently. They began the year as a nervous group of boys who didn’t know each other and have become a close-knit group of friends whose bond will endure way beyond their school years. Their accomplishments and growing self-assurance will significantly benefit the house and school in years to come. I’m happy to announce that the E Block has not only made it through this year but has thrived.
