Dear Friends of Boundless: The black flies, mosquitos, and now, those adorable deer flies, are preying upon a couple dozen Indigenous youth that you, the reader, have generously sponsored to participate in this bloodsucking paradise.  Nevertheless, the kids are...

Dear Friends of Boundless: Adrian, who invested his identity in managing Boundless operations for 23 years, headed for greener pastures at the end of March. He left his DNA imprinted in this Boundless.  On a personal note, I lost a General and gained a friend. I...

Dear Boundless Families and Caregivers: Getting busted at yesterday's WORDLE challenge, the morning didn't start well. At about 10:00am during "recess", Quiche and Samuel Jackson popped into the office holding a football. They sheepishly asked Mary-Lynn, "Can...

Dear Boundless Families: Jimmy, our English teacher and Principal, has had your kids doing haunted walks, invoking monsters to appear - those same malevolent entities the kids have been reading about during the day. They are becoming cross-country ski experts. They...

Dear Boundless Families: Amidst a troubling pandemic and a litany of Rapid Antigen Testing (RATs), your kids arrived in our 600 acre deep freeze safely yesterday. They also managed to keep all their toes and fingers from falling off. It was minus 31, without the...

Dear Boundless Families: I knew something weird was up when David, our Environmental Science teacher, suggested I pop into his class yesterday. The kids wanted to "talk" to me. No one really wants to talk to me unless the foundations of the earth are about to cave...
