Alumni Weekend 2022

Alumni Weekend 2022 welcomed Foote alumni back to campus on May 6 & 7, for the first time in two years! The weekend kicked off on Friday evening with a gathering at 116 Crown. Over 30 alums and some former faculty enjoyed happy hour cocktails, appetizers, and especially the mingling!

On Saturday alumni from the Class of 1946 to 2021 started the morning with coffee and pastries in the Perrine Library followed by an informal tour of campus. Alums enjoyed learning about how Foote evolved over the years and reminisced about their time at the school. Lunch was enjoyed in the Hosley Gym where Head of School Aléwa Cooper welcomed the crowd and provided a brief overview of the year, her second at Foote. Former faculty member and alumna Jenny Byers '65 introduced the 2022 Alumni Achievement Award recipient Caitlin Cahow '00 highlighting her Olympic medal-winning ice hockey career, LGBTQ advocacy, and legal career.

In her acceptance speech, Caitlin credited Foote for her tenacity, ability to embrace differences in others, and perseverance. Following Caitlin's inspiring and passionate speech, alums joined an open Alumni Council meeting followed by a performance of the 7th and 8th Grade play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. As always it was wonderful to have alumni back on campus and reconnect, and make new friends and acquaintances among the different classes!
