Breck Alumni Newsletter: December 2021

This year our holiday reflection comes from Director of Community Life & Head Chaplain, Alexis Nicole Kent. Happy Holidays to you and yours from everyone at Breck!

This fall the Breck Alumni Council was excited to welcome five new members, bringing the total number of council members to 17. The new members include Mike Beavers '91, Cristina Baker '92, Tarnika McDaniel '97, Maggie Borman '07, and Ramsey Sorrells '14. The Alumni Council is organized to support and promote the general welfare of Breck School, to promote the welfare of all Breck alumni, and to assist the Alumni Director, Board of Trustees, the Head of School, the Administration, the Faculty and students in furthering the educational objectives of Breck School. The Alumni Council recognizes that at the core of every fine school lies a strong alumni association; one that instills within the school a feeling of genuine care and concern about the welfare of the school and a sense of tradition.

Hello wonderful Breck Alumni,

Next week we have a few great events that I hope you will join us for. This year the annual Alumni Holiday Party is taking place on Breck’s campus for the first time. By moving the party to campus we hope to offer many of you the opportunity to come back home for the first time in a long time! The party will take place on December 21, 2021, at 7:30 PM in Breck Upper School's Salas Commons. The party will feature food hosted by the alumni association and a cash bar.

To keep everyone safe, please consult our COVID-19 Mitigation Entry Requirements:

Breck's COVID Compliance Team requires that all guests participating in the Alumni Holiday Party bring a copy of their COVID-19 vaccination card or proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to the event. We will accept the application "Docket" to provide vaccination status in lieu of a physical card.

It is not too late to pre-register for the Alumni Holiday Party and receive your free drink ticket. You can RSVP here.

We are also debuting a new suite of Alumni Sporting Events next week. All of these games are open to any alumni, Breck community member, and family members of former players. Please read below for more information about Alumni Women’s Hockey, Alumni Men’s Basketball, and Alumni Men’s Hockey:

For those of you who I have not had the opportunity to meet yet, I hope you will come and say hello at the Alumni Holiday Party next week. As always, I am honored to serve as your Alumni Director and wish you all a very happy holiday season!
