CRANE'S 90TH CELEBRATIONS

Similar to a wedding or bar mitzvah, Crane Country Day School’s 90th Anniversary festivities took many months of planning before the much-awaited weekend finally arrived. The events exceeded expectations and delivered enormous fun, beautiful memories, and good times with old friends. And, li­ke all wonderful celebrations, it was over way too fast! This special edition of the OnCampus revisits Crane’s 90th celebrations to rekindle the memories of the anniversary events on San Leandro Lane and to remind us all of the link between past and current traditions. Crane has always been a special place for me, but the adoration for our school was amplified when I had the opportunity to speak with numerous alumni. Many had not been on campus in over 50 years; yet, recollections of their time spent at Crane were universally joyful and heartfelt—a celebration of long standing friendships and shared experiences.

Decades Party The pinnacle of Crane School’s 90th Anniversary arrived in early May during a two-day affair that was kicked off by the Decades Party on Friday, May 3. Watching the campus transform from school to alumni showplace was swift and well engineered; still, we didn’t really know what to expect. Designed to be a simple family event, the Decades Party provided one of the key ingredients for a successful weekend—bringing people back to the beloved Crane campus. Continued on page 3
