Representing the Saunders family, Garth Saunders congratulated the students and staff on their achievement. In his remarks, Saunders said that the newsletter is an efficient way to document what is happening at the school to be shared with future generations. He also pressed upon the students to follow in the footsteps of their namesake and strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives – not only academic.
