ALUMNI NEWS
FWCD Author Visit Part of the Alumni Association’s virtual event circuit this year includes highlighting some of FWCD’s authors. LeeAnn Elwood McLennan ’85 spoke to alumni in late August 2020. McLennan wrote the book trilogy series Supernatural about a young woman who wanted to reject her family heritage of being a superhero to live a “normal life.” If you are an author and would like to discuss your work with other FWCD alumni, please contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumnirelations@fwcd.com.
Spring Reunion Weekend April 16-17
FWCD is working hard to bring alumni the best experience possible. With COVID-19 still very much part of the 2021 narrative, the School continues to put the health and safety of the campus and broader Fort Worth communities first. We are pivoting once again, and unfortunately, will not be hosting in-person events on campus this spring. However, this does not mean we cannot engage and interact with each other! April 16-17 will be filled with many virtual events, including mini-reunions and much more. The Alumni Awards Dinner and the baseball/softball Alumni Games will shift to spring 2022. The in-person 50th Reunion for the Classes of 1970 and 1971 will take place as soon as COVID-19 protocols allow for small group gatherings. Thank you for your continued support and your help in keeping FWCD safe. FWCD wants you back on campus as soon as possible — when it is safe to do so. The best way to stay connected and up-to-date with FWCD alumni information is FWCD Connect. Join today at fwcdconnect.com.
Class of 1980 Virtual Reunion With the cancellation of all in-person alumni, student and school events at FWCD because of the risks related to COVID-19, the Class of 1980 decided they still wanted to connect and hosted a virtual reunion instead. The evening was a success. Colonel Parker Schenecker ’80 was the emcee for the evening, as each class member shared their updates and reminisced about their days at Fort Worth Country Day. Former faculty members Dan Bloch H’06, Mike Strozeski, Sharon Foster H’05 and Head of School Eric Lombardi also joined in the fun. It was a lively group … some even donned their old FWCD uniforms! 43
