Reunions2009:Return,Remember,RediscoverApril23–26,2009

Alumnae Lives & Legacies:The weekend includes two

opportunities to hear from sis-

ter alumnae. During Friday’s

Decade Reflection Panel you

will hear of Madeira’s rich his-

tory through the memories and

experiences of classmates.

Madeira alumnae from each

decade will share stories of

what Madeira was like during

their time here. Saturday you

will hear from alumnae who are

involved with the stewardship

of the earth and environment.

Class Visits & Campus Tours:Although there have been many

changes to Madeira’s campus,

the beauty in and out of the

classrooms remains the same.

Alumnae will visit classes with

current Madeira students and

see campus with a STAR (STu-

dent Admission Representative).

Master Class: Step back into

the classroom and experience

what learning is like today at

Madeira with one of Madeira’s

master teachers.

Friday Class Gatherings:Friday evening is open for

classes to gather off campus

following an on-campus cock-

tail hour. Please coordinate

with your Reunion class com-

mittee for location and time.

Red-White Afternoon Activities:Saturday afternoon will be a

time to unwind and explore

Madeira in a way you never

have before. Join Heidi Santner

Freeman ’89 for a hike and ex-

plore some of Madeira’s hidden

mysteries. If a tour by auto is

more your speed, join Assistant

Head of School Meredyth Cole

and drive to the far reaches of

campus. Additional activities in-

clude a ride on the zipwire and

teambuilding activities offered

by Inner Quest Inc. or a visit to

the barn.

Reunion Class CelebrationDinners: After many alumnae

requests, Reunion Class Dinners

are now on campus! Enjoy a

special dinner with your class-

mates and friends without the

hassle of having to leave cam-

pus. Classes will have individ-

ual locations on campus to

eat, drink, and be merry with

Madeira friends!

Bonfire on the Bluff: Following

dinner on Saturday evening we

invite you to the bluff behind

the Chapel/Auditorium for a

bonfire and dessert.

Reunions 2009: Return, Remember, Rediscover

Reunions 2009 will be a time to join classmates from years ending in a 4 or 9 and come

together to celebrate all Madeira has to offer. With School in session and current students

on campus, Madeira alumnae, reunion and non-reunion years, are welcome to Greenway to

experience the Madeira community and to reconnect with sister alumnae and friends.4&9What Miss Madeira told her graduates in 1939 about Greenway’s beauty is still true today:

“It will come back to you very vividly, very often

when you are in [a] vacant or pensive mood. Other

memories will come, too, of friends, of classmates,

of teachers… But no memory will be more vivid

than the charm of Madeira.”

—Strong in Her Girls: The Madeira School Centennial History, 1906–2006

During the weekend, Madeira alumnae, family, and friends, have the opportunityto engage with the campus and the entire Madeira community as you enjoy:
