A Message from the Alumni Director

Dear Alumni,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the founding Alumni Association at The Burlington School. The 2013 merger between the Burlington Day School and The Elon School has burgeoned our histories and given us vision for the future of our school. I look forward to connecting with past, current and soon to be alums to continue efforts in unifying us all to the school that we cherish. My hope is that the Alumni Association will be a haven for all former students— to not simply reflect on their time at The Burlington School, but to also envision the school's future alongside the incredible faculty, staff, parents and students at the meridian of our school. It is a tremendous honor to serve as your director and I am anticipating wonderful things to come from our association.

 

Humbly,

Rob Linens, ‘12
