Communications and Development Office, May 2010: Heather Presnail, Alfi Dino, Karen Cortezano, Junia Baker, Beth Gribbon, Joey Lew, Lauri Coulter and Kathy Malacaman.
SAS is richer for her contributions Beth Gribbon has been SAS Director of Communications and Development for five years and is the proud parent of two alumni, Courtney (99) and Kerry (03). Before SAS, she was a volunteer on the Board of Governors, with the PTA and on the American Club board. Although she was most reluctant for this page to be included in Journeys, we felt that her contributions and her love for the school should be recognized. Turns out, a lot of people agreed with us! Someone once said, “how we work with others and how mindful we remain of others are important parts of our work.” Integrity, perspective and kindness are as much a part of Beth’s persona as doing a task or a project to the best of her ability. SAS will not be the same without her. Lauri Coulter, Alumni Relations and Junia Baker, Journeys
Beth gives of this sense that she finds real and lasting satisfaction and contentment in the things that money cannot buy — health, peace of mind, love and affection for family and friends and just doing what is right. SAS is poorer for her leaving but richer for her legacy. Bob Gross, Superintendent 1999-2007 Thank you, Beth, for having been such a unique contributor to SAS. I know you will continue to be a good friend to the school. Bart Broadman, current Board of Governors Beth’s love for SAS and determination to make it the best school it can be have been inspiring to those who have worked with her. Her contributions have strengthened the connections among the various members of the SAS community and have ensured that all of us can be proud of SAS. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with Beth. Margrit Benton, current Board of Governors
Beth’s contributions have been immeasurable. Her abiding commitment has been to improve the quality of the learning experiences at SAS. Thank you Beth for the positive impact your efforts have had on so many students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, administrators and community members! Brent Mutsch, Superintendent 2007-present
Beth’s knowledge and love of our school and community have made her a valuable asset for SAS. SAS is so lucky to have had Beth in this role, and she will be sorely missed! Shelley DeFord, former Board of Governors
The lessons I learned from Beth the parent, the board member, the director of communications and my friend rival what my two kids Sam (07) and Emma (09) learned in grade school through graduation. Beth’s wisdom, compassion for others, overwhelming common sense and dedication to the institution have made SAS a better place. Garth Sheldon, former Board of Governors
I am going to miss working with Beth. She built a solid foundation for the Development Office and contributed so much to SAS. I am thankful for her work for the SAS community. Bon Park, Star Appeal Committee 5
