Within this issue of the Grove News, you’ll find reflections from our Head of School and Board Chair on the strength of community and shared purpose guiding Lakefield’s next chapter. You’ll read about two transformative campus projects — Hepburn Hall and The Bouchard Family Thriving for Life Centre — Neil Young’s unforgettable benefit concert, the restoration of the farmhouse and the enduring significance of Northcote for our school, and stories of innovation in AI and Outdoor Education that are shaping learning at The Grove.
We’re also celebrating the creative legacy of our alumni in music, featuring Valdemar (Valdy) Horsdal ’63, Amelia (Irish Millie) Shadgett ’24, “Baron” Marcus MacDonald ’86, and Adrianna (Annie) Da ’20, alongside community highlights, achievements, and moments that remind us what makes Lakefield such a special place to belong.
