Here’s what some of our Old Rossallians who support the Rossall Foundation have to say about how their donations help:
“Having had three generations of our family attend Rossall, a sense of attachment is a given, but the enduring culture and immediate sense of belonging is not We valued the breadth, independence, and lifelong friendships that a Rossall education provided and we are happy to contribute to help maintain the school’s fabric and facilities for future generations – Floreat Rossallia.”
Floreat Rossallia! Floreat Rossallia!
