Birthday Wishes: Natalie Davies RL 1987, President of the Redlanders Alumni Association and current parent
“Wishing Redlands a very happy 140th birthday! The school has come a long way in its rich and interesting history but the values it instils in the students and the sense of community spirit has stood the test of time. I look forward to continuing to watch the school grow in the years ahead and to celebrating at the Festival of Redlands event this October.”
