We asked our Scholars what they were up to this summer and what they are looking forward to in this new school year. Many of these young men took time to travel, volunteer, spend time with family, play sports, and enjoy the outdoors. We know that Max would have loved to join each one of them on their adventures and we loved what they had to share!
