Alumnae Reunion Weekend
We enjoyed another beautiful luncheon event, thanks in large part to our incredible Luncheon Chair Aimee Fowler Carlson ’85. The Alumnae Luncheon at the Metropolitan Club kicked off with an Estate Planning Seminar with Danielle Broude Yokell ’96 providing food for thought (and mimosas!) for alumnae across generations. Attendees had the pleasure of hearing from our 2019 Distinguished Alumna Ebony Frelix Beckwith ’91, the EVP and chief philanthropy officer at Salesforce.org, and from Michele Williams, head of school. Ebony’s remarks were truly inspiring as she emphasized how critical it is to level the playing field, so that everyone — no matter their background, ethnicity, zip code, or gender — will be able to achieve great things.

In December 2019, we hosted our second annual Alumnae Holiday Celebration for alumnae and their partners, parents, and children in the new Campus Center. Guests enjoyed hot chocolate and festive music while catching up and decorating cookies to celebrate the season. Donations were collected for the SF Firefighters Toy Collection.
Our second annual Alumnae Mentorship Network Panel & Reception took place in February 2019. This inspiring evening featured a terrific panel of incredible alumnae speakers from technology, business and finance, science, and education.
