THE STEPPINGSTONE FOUNDATION
Alumni Visit Milton Academy On August 12, Steppingstone held its third annual Alumni Visit Day at Milton Academy. Megumi Milla ’06, Ngoc-Tran Vu ’00, Danae Fahie ’00, Danielle Le Hals ’97, Lamarr Rollins ’99, and Jose Vega ’95 ate breakfast with young Scholars before touring the summer programs. The Alumni all agreed that they enjoyed having the opportunity to chat with the Scholars, sit in on classes (including a science class presentation), and reflect about their time with Steppingstone.

Alumni Celebrate 25 Years of Steppingstone Beyond academic preparation, one of the cornerstones of the Steppingstone experience is creating relationships - and no one knows that better than Alumni. When you return to visit or e-mail us updates on your lives, you often tell us that you met your best friends through the program and have kept in touch for years after. What better way, then, to commemorate Steppingstone’s 25th Anniversary than by coming together with other Alumni to reminisce and celebrate the Steppingstone community? Thanks to you, this year’s reunion was a smashing success. In addition to the bonds within the Steppingstone family, we also love hearing about the relationships Steppingstone Alumni create within their larger communities. Because this year marked Steppingstone’s 25th anniversary, reunion was a particularly poignant time to reflect upon the ways in which you and your fellow Alumni have positively impacted the world. Megumi Milla ’06, an Alumni Relations summer intern at Steppingstone, spoke to the opportunity the celebration provided to look back on the past and prepare for the future: “Anniversaries are not only a great time for reflection, but also a time to think about the future. I know that Steppingstone will continue helping hardworking Scholars just like us for years. We will continue to deeply change school communities in Boston and college campuses around the country by making them more diverse and inclusive. Your achievements will be seen as examples for both current and future Scholars.” Megumi is a graduate of the Brimmer and May School and a senior at Bates College. She has volunteered at the Lewiston Housing Authority, served as a mentor for elementary school students, and created an English tutoring program for Latino families that live on remote farms. She is also the public relations officer for the Bates Latinos Unidos Club. Thank you to Megumi and to all the other Scholars and Alumni who continue to make a difference in your communities and stay involved with Steppingstone!
