ALUMNI NEWS
Victoria D'Amelio '78 was  visiting the Carmel area with her middle daughter, Ariel D'Amelio Caffaro, and took the opportunity to watch one of our Peter Pan performances. She also loved exploring the campus a little bit.

She has been in education in many different roles since the 1980s and is presently the assistant to the Middle School Director at  The Bush School  in Seattle, Washington.

Speaking of Peter Pan.... Thank you to everybody who came to cheer on our thespians! It was wonderful seeing so many of our former students, teachers, and parents return to campus. It is always fabulous to catch up! 

And one more note on Peter Pan....

Richard Conklin (Noah '16) & Bob Davies (Alex '13 & Sophia '15) have supported our 
Spring Musical Band for over 15 years, and they continue to do so, even after their children graduated! Richard is on the drums and Bob plays the bass. Thank you for helping make our spring musicals so fantastic.
Our alum parents rock!

Stephanie Rosenbaum '03  moved to Bemidji, Minnesota to take over as Executive Director of the Bemidji Symphony Orchestra. 
Little bit of trivia: Lake Bemidji got its name because "Bemidji" refers to the Mississippi River, and how it flows across the lake from west to east. The word Bemidji means "Lake with crossing waters" and in its native Ojibwe it is Bemidjigamaag.

earned his DDS (Doctorate of Dental Science) from UCLA Dental School on June 2, 2019. Beau Bayless '08 and dear friend and fellow ASDS alum, Katie Schultheis '05, were in attendance.
