We sat on the lawn listening to great music and ate delicious Tex-Mex food. Once the party moved inside, we all enjoyed looking at old yearbooks from our younger days. There was much laughter over the hairstyles. It was a wonderful event. I’m so glad I made the effort to go.

I was a little nervous to go to my 5-year reunion from Graland because I hadn’t been back in a few years, but I am so glad I did! It was great to see old friends like Ramsay Pierce, Danielle Caldwell, Ben Horne and Daniel Nichols. The event was incredibly well thought out. It allowed for alumni to spend time visiting with teachers and other alumni, see the changes and improvements to the campus and to listen to musical entertainment by alumni. My favorite part was getting to look through the old yearbooks and laugh about old memories, while making new ones!
Special thanks to Taylor Cleveland ’88 Pardun for her video work and Kim Fuller ’86 Jacoby for photography at the event.

Did you see Nicole Seefried ’09 featured in The Denver Post? After Graland, she attended Denver School of the Arts and was selected to receive an award for outstanding performance by an actress in a lead role. The honor led her to New York this summer, where she competed in the National High School Musical Theater Awards. Nicole is now headed to Villanova University to study English and theater. Best of luck – or rather, “Break a leg!”
