Summer Fest is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with former classmates. Steward graduates relived their high school years through the company of former classmates and faculty on June 23 . Many Alumni had not returned to campus since the major campus renovations. "I was surprised to see how much Steward has grown ; it actually took me a few seconds to figure out where the gym was. Even though the campus has changed, 1 am glad to know that the core values and mission of The Steward School are the same," said Graham Hickerson '89.

With delicious food provided by Hickory Notch, a wonderful new Lower School playground for the children, and beautiful weather, fun was had by all. Tours of the campus were given to those interested and The Somerville 8rothers (Tom Somerville and Chris Maszaros '02) provided great entertainment. Bonnie Anderson even shared her musical talents spontaneously.

Following the family fun , the Classes of 1986 and 1987 held their 20-year Reunion at Shacklefords, while the Class of 1992 had their 15-year Reunion at the home of Cassel Adamson '92 and the Class of 1997 celebrated their 10-year Reunion at Havana59. "Everyone had a great time and enjoyed catch ing up with one another about jobs, children, and location. There were also lots of laughs and chatter about the posters of old yearbook photos that Delaney and 1 had made. All through the evening people kept asking when the next reunion will be! The food was delicious, the weather was perfect and the Adamsons provided the ultimate location for our 1Sth! We are already talking about our 20th !" said Kate Porter Murray '92 .

The Great Tailgate October 26, 2007

OMMUNITY SERVICE Headmaster Ken Seward has said, 1 the

"With a name like 'Steward'

gates of our school, we have a certain obligation to

ach students to care-to care for themselves, for others, r each other, and for a cause beyond themselves.

II

Whether

e cause was school-wide, division-wide, family- or team-focused, or rough a personal commitment and cause, Steward students found any ways to put stewardship in motion during the 2006-2007 school ar. Below are just a few.

This spring, the Middle School Girls lacrosse team raised $890 for Race for the Cure and participated in the race on Saturday, May 12. Twenty-six girls either ran or walked the 5K at Brown 's Island.

..................................................•...•••....................•• MiddLe SchooL Students

Lower School students participated in "Jump Rope for Heart."

.ower SchooL Students Students collected socks, shoes, and sweaters for Norrell School students in need . Norrell is the Battery Park school that closed due to flooding earlier th is school year.

Each year, the Middle School chooses a local organization to support through a variety of fund raising and outreach efforts throughout the year. This year, students and faculty gave their time and talent to Comfort Zone Camp, a local camp (reaching thousands of families nation-wide) designed to help children who have lost people they love. In addition to periodic fundraisers ("break-thedress-code" days, etc.), the students contributed their time as well. Individual advisories sent "goodies" (such as tie-dyed pillow cases, school supplies, teddy bears, and other odds and ends) based on a eze wish list. Middle School students made notable contributions to other organizations, including Race For The Cure, which also featured many student participants.

Individual advisories also choose individual causes, such as one advisory that prepared and served dinner for CARITAS one evening at a local church.

Upper SchooL Students As a core part of the Upper School curricu lum, students are required to participate in various community service activities- whether in the school or in the surrounding community. Additionally, Upper School students this year held a coat drive, canned food drives, an art supply drive, and more. For instance, Mrs. Heaton 's advisory led a drive to collect school supplies for young children in Afghanistan .

Students volunteered at a variety of places around Richmond . And again this year, the Upper School participated in the Race for the Cure.

Students worked to pull together about 25 boxes of food for local families in need for the Thanksgiving holiday.

During the wint er holidays, students collected for Heifer International, a program that sponsors animals for indigent families in th ird-world countries Lower School students participated in this February's annual "Jump Rope for Heart" to benefit the American Heart Association .

During February and March, Lower School students collected pennies for the Children's Hospital.

THE ANNUAL FUND STEERING COMMITTEE This year Steward created a new volunteer team, the Annual Fund Steering Committee, to lead the 2006-2007 Annual Giving Campaign. This team, led by parent chairs Dan and Sally Caldwell, consisted of representatives from each school division, each grade level, grandparents, and members of the Spartan Club.

Thanks to the strong leadership of these volunteers and the generous financial support of Steward parents, grandparents, faculty, friends and family, we exceeded our unrestricted goal of $295,000!

This year's campaign raised more than $337,000 unrestricted dollars, an all-time high for Steward. Thank you volunteers, parents, family members and friends who made attaining- and exceeding- this goal possible.

L to R: Sally Caldwell, Ken Seward, and Dan Caldwell

"As a member of the Development staff, it was incredible to see so many volunteers commit their time and energy to promote the advancement of Steward and to educate other parents on the importance of the Annual Fund. We saw the parent community truly take ownership of this year's campaign, and it was a great working team."
