Trinity-Pawling School recently held the Washington D.C. alumni reception. Graduates from the Class of 1951 all the way through the Class of 2012 gathered, showcasing the depth and strength of the Trinity-Pawling brotherhood. The event was held just a few blocks from the White House, providing the perfect setting for alumni to connect with old friends and meet new ones.
Head of School Bill Taylor shared an insightful update on the School’s progress, honored the late former Headmaster Phil Smith, and reminisced on the importance of Smith’s mentorship in starting Bill’s career in education. He emphasized the pride he takes in carrying on the mantle of leadership.
The reception was a huge success, with alumni mingling and enjoying the fantastic food. The menu was diverse and featured a wide range of delicious options, including crab puffs, bacon-wrapped scallops, mini quesadillas, falafel balls, spinach ricotta turnovers, Virginia ham biscuits, and potstickers in their own little take-out boxes. The food was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the evening and left everyone feeling satisfied.
The event was graciously hosted by Kathryn and Ken Weeman ’59, P’91. The Weemans ensured everyone felt welcome, and their hospitality was greatly appreciated by all who attended. Overall, the alumni reception was a wonderful opportunity for graduates of Trinity-Pawling to come together, share memories, and celebrate their connection to the School.
