Alumni gathered at The Glenholme School on Friday, November
14 to reminisce and rekindle friendships with fellow graduates,
current students, former teachers and staff. The afternoon event
was a great opportunity to speak with alumni to share in their
accomplishments and current activities.
A
recent 2003 graduate, Nick R., enthusiastically updated everyone
about attending the Cheshire Academy in Connecticut. Nick is
currently an honor roll student who participates in the drama
program and has grown to establish many new friendships at his
school. "It feels great to come back and tell everyone
how well I'm doing. I love where I am now and I give Glenholme
all the credit," explained Nick as he smiled. When talking
to Nick and his mother, there was a strong sense of accomplishment
in their eyes as he handed over a program of his recent leading
role as Demetrius in Shakespeare's play, "A Mid Summer
Night's Dream." This new interest in acting is sure to
be only one of many exciting adventures Nick will succeed at.
Former
students from the graduating class of 2002 talked about their
involvement here at Glenholme. While their participation in all
of Glenholme's programs was significant, Community Service was
a key topic of conversation. Since graduation from Glenholme,
Adam G., attending a private school in New York, is keeping busy
with the Boy Scouts. Adam proudly explained how he is leading
a group of volunteers in the construction of a park bench and
a landscaping project for a local church.
For
Zachary E., his positive impact on senior citizens brought back
many fond memories of residents at Candlewood Valley nursing home.
While at Glenholme, Zachary volunteered each week at the nursing
home playing bingo with the residents. Zachary spoke of his favorite
resident Annette and highlighted his favorite moment - when he
volunteered to sing and perform for them at a Christmas talent
show. Zachary is currently attending college to become an elementary
teacher, where he will continue to make a difference in someone
else's life.
Glenholme
appreciates the alumni attendance at the event and wishes them
continued success for the future.
