Dear FVS Community, 

Last Thursday, I announced to our school community that we would not be returning to campus this year and that Baccalaureate and Commencement would take place virtually as a combined celebration of the Class of 2020. Similarly, I am writing today to share that Reunion and FVS Giving Day will also take place virtually this year and is duly themed “For Love of FVS.” 

Our goal is simple and timely: to bring together our entire community—both past and present—in support of Fountain Valley School. The reach of the virtual platform provides the potential for this to be a grand gathering, and I hope that all who are reading this will join us—alumni, current and past parents, faculty, grandparents, and friends of FVS. 

In celebration of our 90th year, “For Love of FVS” will include virtual cocktail parties on Friday evening, May 29 to connect and share stories about FVS, and we’ll be digging deep into the archives to unearth photos and other materials to help celebrate our incredible history. 

The schedule for Saturday, May 30 will be spread out to minimize screen time fatigue and provide flexible opportunities to tune in. There will be musical performances by members of our community, the Athletic Hall of Fame and Arts Guild ceremonies, and an address from a member of the Class of 2020 about the profound transformative effect that FVS has on our students. I will also provide an update on the state of the school which, despite current challenges, remains strong thanks to the continued gracious support of our community. Saturday will also be our official Annual Giving Day and I hope that all of what you will see and experience throughout the day will inspire you to come together in support of our wonderful school. 

I hope to see you all, virtually, at our combined Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremony on Friday, May 22 from 7-9 p.m. MDT and then during our combined Reunion and Giving Day “For Love of FVS” on Friday and Saturday, May 29-30.

In the meantime, please take good care, stay safe, be well, and enjoy the glimpses of FVS below.
