Alumnae Reunion

Samantha Alcala ‘07 enjoys Paint and Sip

Reunite, Reconnect, Chez Nous

Notre Dame’s Annual Alumnae Reunion on May 13, 2022 had a special focus this year, marking our school’s 20th Anniversary at its current location on West 13th Street. Over 100 alumnae attended this gathering, our first in-person reunion since the beginning of the pandemic. The celebration began with a special liturgy in the Alumnae Chapel, followed by a selection of engaging workshops hosted by our current faculty: a meeting of the school’s book club with librarian Lydie Kane; a hands-on lab experiment, led by science teacher Yasmin Hassan; an opportunity to learn the school’s alma mater from music director Nicole Wakabayashi; and a very popular paint and sip session in the art studio with teacher Liz Davenport.

Following these fun small group “classes,” all attendees gathered in the Dolan Center for remarks by school President Dr. Virginia O’Brien, S.U. and Principal Ms. Karina Vargas. Director of Development Beth Bixenman welcomed anniversary year classes (those ending in a “2” or “7”) to receive a special gift and pose for a class photo. Throughout the evening, light refreshments were on hand, and the evening ended with a sparkling wine toast to ND and its cherished alumnae.
