After visiting University Lake School in September for an author talk and book signing, New York Times bestselling author Soman Chainani shared a heartfelt reflection on his personal blog titled The School I Want to Go To: How a Middle School Author Visit Almost Made Me Quit My Job… While he never names ULS directly, his words paint a vivid picture of the joy, curiosity, creativity, and natural beauty that make our school community so special. From our trails and greenhouse to the energy and spirit of our students, his reflections capture something we feel every day -- that ULS is truly a remarkable place to learn and grow.
