Our annual gala was a night of reflecting on the journeys of a school 40 years in the making. We saw a robust alumni turnout that was so enjoyable, hearing their memories and catching up was wonderfully meaningful.

The main room was a timeline that reflected not just Stanbridge but the fascinating history of the building we use every day. The story of it's beginnings as a Preventorium - a facility that has always been there to support children! Aligned with a mission of creating a safe space for young people to thrive. 
​
The timeline, of course, was also a photographic trip down memory lane that included pics from the beginning of Stanbridge, pictures of 1982 to the present day, adorned the space and reminded guests of why we were all together for this special evening.
​Outside, the swanky tunes of Dan Zemelman and Lilian Kane set a relaxed tone as we welcomed guest speakers to share their stories. Dawson Bartholemew (Alumni), Danny Martin (faculty), and Cindy Kuehnle (parent & board member) reflected on why "There's no place like Stanbridge" and touched our hearts. 
​
Then it was time to shift gears to the raucous fund-a-need auction, led by our own Jay Huston in a dazzling red suit. We are so grateful for the people that make up our community, the gift of coming together in person is now appreciated on a level that was only made more significant over time and the shared experience of living through a pandemic. Thank you to all who came out for this evening together, you are all a part of what makes this community as unique and wonderful as it is.
