A Singular Senior-Year Experience

Lockdown may have kept them apart, but their Mayfield spirit—and hundreds of individual “Actions Not Words” acts of love—brought the Class of 2020 together.

Home-delivered Senior Tea hampers

Mayfield faculty and staff fanned out over the San Gabriel Valley and beyond to deliver a tea-for-two care package—including Kate Morin’s homemade cupcakes!—to each family’s home, so senior students and their moms could still share a special “quarantea” celebration together.

Car caravan with faculty and staff cheer squad

What a fun and (literally!) moving tribute to this very special class. Our annual college car decorating day, which is usually a communal laugh-fest in the senior parking lot, was transformed into a jubilant car parade through campus, where students were cheered on by mask-wearing, sociallydistanced faculty and staff.

Cubs spirit kits and morale-boosting messages

Mayfield also commemorated this special group of seniors by delivering personalized yard signs and Mayfield felt pennants, as well as more intangible mementos, like the Class of 2020 teacher tribute page, where each senior received a personal note from a faculty member and their “little sister,” and a digital message board, filled to the brim with messages of encouragement from alumnae and other members of our Mayfield family.
