Greetings Saints Alumni,
One of the many joys about returning to serve our alma mater is seeing that while the School may change in many ways over the years, the emphasis on tradition and community remains at the forefront of all that we do.
We’re excited to welcome you back for two special opportunities this spring. On Thursday, March 21, we will host Scott Shigeoka, internationally recognized curiosity expert, speaker and author of SEEK: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World. This event is presented as part of the Booth Family Inspiration Speaks Series in partnership with the Virginia Festival of the Book. Please RSVP here to attend.
During Alumni Weekend, April 12 – 14, we will launch our yearlong Semicentennial Celebration commemorating the 50th anniversary of the merger of St. Anne’s School and Belfield School. We’re pleased to honor our school’s history and dream for the future. Please review the schedule for the weekend and book your hotel room now for a fun-packed weekend filled with arts, athletics, academics, and an all-alumni birthday party!
