Thank you to everyone who joined us for Alumni Day this afternoon. We had such a great time hearing stories and memories - thank you for sharing them.

One of our favorites came from Thanta Isenhour Roberts, and we wanted to share it with all of you. Thanks Thanta and Mitchell!

We are having a lot of fun setting up for Alumni Day (it's tomorrow starting at 1:30pm if you haven't heard). This is one of the history / memory displays we're working on. If you look closely you might spot a 1923 Sandprints Yearbook in there.

The entire community is invited to Alumni Day on October 4 at the MANN Center for the Arts. We hope to see you there!
