Great alumni reception today!

Giving Back and ‘Doing Good’

Interview with Prabha Pacey (’96) by Lara Kilpatrick (’85) for The Connection Summer/Fall 2012.

Recently, I had a great conversation with my dear friend and MMS alumna, Prabha Pacey (’86), over a delicious meal at her home in Soquel. Prabha is known to MMS alumni and families for her presence on the Washington, D.C. trips, and for her wonderful voice at senior graduation and the Prabha & Friends alumni concerts benefiting MMS (2009, 2011).

Mount Madonna School is piloting a New Family and Sibling Incentive Program for our MMS alumni.

Recognizing that alumni word of mouth promotion is one of the most effective ways of building our school community, we want to offer a token of gratitude in the form of a cash gift of $250 to each alumnus who refers a family to MMS, which results in a newly enrolled student. This is a way for us to say thank you to our alumni for this invaluable service to MMS.

MMS alumna Erika Rosendale ('05) is having an exhibition of her paintings at Cafe Gratitude in Santa Cruz. An opening reception is planned for Friday, August 3, from 5:00-9:00pm.

Cafe Gratitude is located at 103 Lincoln Street in downtown Santa Cruz.

Many MMS juniors and seniors attended this event where they met with some MMS alumni of the Bay Area. Students and alumni engaged in a dialogue around college, majors and career transitions. Seniors had some great questions pertaining to skills and knowledge from high school and college, and their application in the workplace. Alumni offered great insights into navigating the college experience, how an MMS education can support college, grad school, career, and life in general.

Thanks and appreciation go to Alicia Carlson (Weston-Miles), '01, Alumni Board Representative, for hosting this gathering at her offices in Menlo Park. Huge appreciation to Dany Bryan, parent of Susie ('11) and Willy (12th gr), Board member and also Career Forum parent volunteer.
