Come for Reunion 2024!

THE POWER OFALUMNAE

Isn’t it about time you went old school again? Back to where the grass and the magnolias are always greener.

Reunion is around the corner. Each reunion, I am struck by how much I wish I had spent more time with a classmate and how heartening re-engaging as an adult can be. I always end reunion weekend feeling like my cup has been filled and that I better hightail it home to update my holiday card list, so I have another reason to stay in touch!

Reunion weekends only come once every five years and so much life happens in between. Come slow down for a weekend and find fellowship with old friends and ones you have not seen in many moons.

We have a singular shared history. We are one another’s memories and each other’s sisters. Some highlights of the weekend will be hearing from Head of School Jess Hill and her panel of students and faculty on Friday, May 3, about the many ways Harpeth Hall has grown and challenged

young women in a tirelessly evolving world. You do not want to miss the Wine and Cheese reception that follows and is “on the house.” That is wine and cheese on Harpeth Hall, ladies!

Saturday May 4 be sure to come hear from a variety of fascinating alumnae at the Alumnae Panel Discussion at 3:15 p.m. And the warm-up to our Saturday class parties will be Cocktails on Campus to celebrate all of us in the Bullard Bright IDEA Lab, and there is no telling what ideas we will conjure up there!

I hope I get to see YOU and that all your friends do too.

With gratitude,

Holly Holly Conner ’84, 2024 Reunion Chair
