April 15, 2025
We are excited to announce the return of Founders’ Day! We look forward to welcoming you back to campus on Friday, May 9, 2025, for this beloved tradition in honor of Sam and Nathalie Brown and to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our community! Here’s a sneak peek of the events that will be happening on Founders’ Day:
Community Breakfast from 7:30-8:30 a.m. in the Middle School Commons
We hope our current students, families, faculty, and staff will start their day with us in the Middle School Commons for our Founders’ Day Community Breakfast. We’ll have a menu of scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, potatoes, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, and pastries available. We will also have vegetarian proteins available.
All-School Assembly from 1:30-2:30 p.m. in the Wight Gym
Featuring student performances and the presentation of the Alumni of the Year (AOY) and Inspirational Faculty Award. Additionally, we will honor members of our Society of Elders who are in attendance. This assembly is open to past Alumni of the Year recipients, Society of Elders, and past Inspirational Faculty Award recipients.
Founders’ Day Reception from 2:45-4:30 p.m. in the Courtyard between Wight Gym and the Middle School
Following the assembly, we will head to the Courtyard for the Founders’ Day Afternoon Reception featuring music, food and beverages, and activities. You’ll also hear some brief remarks from John Long ‘64, Board of Trustee Diane Hunt, and Director of Development and Alumni Relations, De’Andre Jones. This reception will be for all members of the community, but with a special invitation to those former AOY award recipients, Inspirational Faculty award recipients, and members of the Society of Elders.
Pub Night Hosted by the Board of Trustees from 4:30-7:30 p.m. at Narrows Brewing
The CWA Board of Trustees is hosting a pub night at Narrows Brewing following the Founders’ Day festivities. This event is open to anyone and everyone in the community. We’re even hoping to get members of the Society of Elders to make an appearance!
