Taft School "I am very happy and excited to write to you about lyene and her progress at The Taft School in Watertown, CT. She has transitioned remarkably well here as a student athlete. In the classroom and outside on the golf course she has made a great impact. Academically, she is participating and doing very well in all her classes English, Math, History, Science and even has taken on a role in Robotics! On the golf course, she played in our number two position all season long which is great".
