I have yet to make the trek to Greenfield for any of our reunions so far. But my goal is to be there in 2014. Can we all agree to start saving and planning now? I would love to see as many of you as possible! For those of you who don’t see my multiple posts on Facebook per day; I’m still living in Euless, TX right outside of Dallas. Forrest and I are quickly approaching our first five years of marriage. My eldest daughter, Sonora, is 11 years old. My youngest, Bettysue, is 4! I feel fortunate to be able to be at home with them. This year I was finally able to start dancing again on a regular basis. After almost nine years of no dance classes, I’m happy to discover I’ve managed to retain most of my dancing skills. I guess dance is a lot like riding a bike? I love and miss you all! Find me on Facebook if you haven’t already. If any of you are ever in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area, drop me a line so we can meet up! Nikki Wells shares: I’m still working for the Amherst public schools, specifically with children who have Autism, Aspergers and/or Down Syndrome. I love my job and feel very fortunate to be able to do something I truly love. My daughter is 10 and 1/2 and is three quarters of the way through the fourth grade. It seems like time has flown by! Hopefully everyone from the class of ’99 (and every alumna for that matter) is doing really well!

First, reunion in June: It was wonderful to see so many from our class at SBS, and I was able to get back in touch with two of my SBS besties - Ann McCoppin and April Greene (Ainsworth),
which then allowed us to plan mini reunions of our own. I went out to LA in September, stayed with Ann and had a blast running around the city with her and her three adorable children! Then, because I had such a great time at reunion, I was thrilled when Liz Feeley asked me to join the SBS Alumnae Board and invited me to come back to school for 100 nights. It brought back so many memories, and made me really excited to continue reconnecting and to start giving back to SBS. It also gave me the opportunity

so much fun to meet the families of my classmates and I can’t wait for the next reunion! It’s an exciting period in my life right now, I just got a promotion that I am extremely proud of/happy about/excited about and will hopefully be able to share more information about it a little later on! I’m looking forward to connecting with more ladies from the class of 2001 and working on setting up some mini-reunions/alumnae events in the future!

I look forward to staying even more connected in the coming year, and hopefully organizing some awesome NYC alum events! Joyhdae Albert writes: Note from our esteemed former class advisor Tom Iampietro: Despite the ladies of 2001 being a handful and shaving a couple of years off of his life---he is still alive and kicking! **Note to ladies--we should SO remind him of what made us so great via Facebook, I’m sure he’d love that!** Well 2011/2012 has been great so far! We had a great turnout at our 10 year reunion and many of us were able to reconnect in person despite our social media presence! It was great to see so many of my classmates looking and doing so well! It was
