Leaving a Legacy: Emily Frizzle Memorial Endowment Bursary
Published on April 18, 2021
Emily Frizzle began her Rundle Academy journey in grade five and quickly became an integral part of our community. Through the years, Emily developed a love of athletics, participating in a variety of sports while always being the consummate team player. She also brought her collaborative spirit to the classroom, where she was always willing to help her fellow classmates reach their goals while striving for her own academic excellence. Emily’s evolution as a student during her time at Rundle Academy was profound. She became a student who embraced accommodations and developed advocacy skills beyond her years.
Emily’s family invites you to contribute to the Emily Frizzle Memorial Endowment Bursary Fund, providing bursaries to Rundle Academy students. Their wish is for other students to be able to have the same life-changing educational experience Emily was able to have as part of the Rundle Academy community.
In establishing Emily’s endowment fund, the principal of the endowment fund will be held unspent, in perpetuity, with Rundle College Society, while the earnings from the invested assets will be used to provide bursaries for current Rundle Academy students as per her family’s wish.
Each year, Emily’s Bursary will sponsor deserving students enrolled at the Academy who require financial assistance to continue their learning journey at Rundle. Emily left a lasting impression on our Academy family and together we will continue to celebrate her memory and ongoing contributions to our community.
Emily has been an angel in so many ways to our family, when she was with us filling our lives with her laughter and sweet caring ways. Hours spent together, birthdays shared and sleepover nights. With Emily’s passing she has continued to be an angel to us, the bursary her trust has provided has directly impacted the life and future of my daughter. Everyday we are able to go to Rundle, such a special school with amazing teachers, where the girls are able to meet, and learn together is a gift we are eternally grateful for. It is with the deepest of gratitude that I thank the Frizzle family for Emily’s Bursary, and I would like to express that it has been life-changing for us, thank you so much.
