Lignum Vitae trees were planted on campus to commemorate the thirteen alumni who have
returned to LCIS as parents. “These special families have seen LCIS evolve over the years and
have reaffirmed their commitment to our school by choosing us as the school to educate their
children,” said principal, Ms. Stacey Bobo.
The tree planting ceremony was part of LCIS’ annual Founders Day ceremony, where the
school pauses to remember its founder E.P.Taylor and celebrate the many accomplishments
of LCIS and its students over the years. The introduction of this new tradition connects the
growth of the school to the growth of the families and the community.
The alumni families present for the event in the LCIS Alumni Parent garden were:
• Cindy Roberts-Newell and her daughter Ashley Newell
• Sarah Farrington (nee Smith) and her daughters Cece, Katie and Ellie Farrington
• Tanya Crone (nee Melich) and her children Henry, Daisy and Lucy Crone
• Katherine Bowers (nee Smith) and her sons David and Thomas Bowers
• Bruce Fernie and his children Alex, Isabelle, Mimi and Charlotte Fernie
