Alumni News We are planning a terrific, fantastic, and exciting weekend June 6th and 7th! If you haven’t seen Sandy Spring Friends School in a while, it’s high time you came back to visit with friends and faculty, and to tell stories long forgotten. Of course, we’ll have the old favorites: Wildebeest Stampede, Strawberry Cowbake Picnic and Open Mic, Annual Sing of Mon Coeur and Silver Swan, Men’s Baseball Game, and Men’s Lacrosse Game. There will be many new events and activities this year, as well, inclulding the Ignite Sandy Spring event (see below); a chance to make a ceramic bowl in the Art Barn for the 2016 Empty Bowl Dinner; a co-ed softball game; and a Women's Lacrosse game. More information will be arriving in your email box and at your doorstep shortly. It’s going to be a heck of a lot fun, so we hope to see you there! Feel free to contact Mimi Youmans at mimi.youmans@ssfs.org with questions.
Ignite Sandy Spring: enlighten us, but make it quick. Ignite talks are five minutes long and include twenty slides. Ignite is fast paced, smart and fun! Last September, we held our inaugural Ignite Sandy Spring event to a packed crowd and rave reviews. This event is sponsored by the Alumni Association Steering Committee and is the perfect venue to share an idea, a passion, or an experience. So, whether you have a profound thought to share, a story to delight, or an experience to inform – Ignite Sandy Spring wants you! Our next Ignite Sandy Spring will take place during Alumni Weekend, on Saturday, June 7th. We already have some requests from alumni to present, including Ari Preuss, Jon Mort, and Bim Schauffler; we'd love to hear from many more! Find out more about Ignite online, and contact Mimi Youmans at mimi.youmans@ssfs.org or 301-774-7455 x 162 if you would like to learn more about becoming a presenter. Winter 2014
