ALUMNI WEEKEND 2009 Alumni from near and far returned to 5114 North Charles Street during the first weekend in May to celebrate the past, renew old ties and get a feel for Friends School today through campus tours and presentations led by longtime faculty. The festivities kicked off on Thursday evening, April 30, with the fifth annual Friends School Athletic Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony. This year’s class included 14 alumni, five teams and one coach.
Lindsay Leimbach ’84, Monica Wilson ’87, Melissa Feliciano ’86 and Jonelle Woodard ’85, members of the “unstoppable” 1984 Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team, pose with their plaques.
