is pleased to support the Global Learning Exchange Open Books, Open Minds literacy program with an annual Chromebook donation.

The Global Learning Exchange Initiative (GLXi) is transforming lives and communities through child literacy, one lesson at a time. Their mission is to empower preschool and elementary school children in Guatemala by providing access to an unparalleled literacy curriculum and professional teacher training that creates new opportunity pathways for the next generation.

Thanks to the generosity of Forsyth School, teachers in our Open Books, Open Minds literacy program now have new Chromebooks to support instruction, planning, and student learning.

A special thank you to Lucas Parish and Michael Mitchell, head of facilities, for helping make this partnership possible. Together, we're investing in educators, empowering classrooms, and opening more doors for students through the power of literacy.

During our last week at , the pre-primary campers wiggled and wondered! 〰️ Campers in Sr-K through Grade 2 navigated the neighborhood on two wheels 🚲, took stories from the page to the stage 🎭, and did good deeds in the Kindness Club 🤝.

On Thursday, May 28, we celebrated the Class of 2026 at their graduation celebration. In the company of their families, teachers, and fellow graduates, and per tradition, each student delivered a short address reflecting on their time at Forsyth, and looking forward to what's next. This final public speaking opportunity is both incredibly impressive and movingly memorable.

The ceremony also included inspiring remarks from Head of School Mr. Rob Butler and Upper Division Director Ms. Stephanie Teachout, as well as recognition of departing families by Board President Abigail George (FS '93). And no Forsyth graduation would be complete without the presentation of diplomas and puzzle pieces by the Grade 6 teachers (Mr. Joe Kaminski, Mrs. Teresa Otto, Ms. Lizzy Ruzicka, and Mrs. Susan Zareh) and Ms. Teachout.

It's been a great first week of !

This week, our pre-primary campers enjoyed a week of wonder (and nature walks!). Campers in Sr-K through Grade 2 became animal architects, explored art in the park, and traversed the climbing wall and high ropes course. Older campers in Grades 3–6 tinkered with tools, mastered Mahjong, and braved the heat with daily extreme bike treks.

We can't wait to see what activities are in store for week two!
