Robert Bell and Esther Falconer

Grandparents of Isla Elbe ’29

“The best thing you can do for a child is to give them the best education possible”.

It is that belief that led Robert Bell and Esther Falconer, grandparents of SMLS student Isla Elbe, to donate $100,000 to SMLS. Their gift will establish the Robert Bell and Isla Elbe ’29 Bursary that will provide a girl of promise with an SMLS education that her family may not otherwise be able to afford.

It is this opportunity to reach one's full potential that they wish to provide for more girls. “We’ve seen Isla grow into a confident young girl since starting at SMLS.”

They hope that their leadership gift to SMLS inspires other families to support the school in any way they can. “We want to provide deserving girls with the access to an enriched education that lays the groundwork for their development and success - regardless of their financial background”.
