The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway~
Thanksgiving comes again!
~Old Rhyme
Dear Agnes Irwin Alumnae,
At this time of year, families and friends often gather for great food and good fun, recalling past times and special memories that have been etched on their hearts.
Such is the case for The Agnes Irwin School as we think of each and every alumna this Thanksgiving, those who are spread far and wide and those nearby whom we see more often. Agnes Irwin is tremendously thankful for the robust Alumnae Association that keeps its many former students close together and engaged in the life of their alma mater.
While the school has much to be thankful for, we know that you, too, feel grateful for the wonderful teachers who guided you and for the lasting friendships formed at AIS that have supported you through the years.
Among our list of “things to be thankful for” is the addition of Cindy Hooper Bell ’79 to the school’s Alumnae Relations Office. Cindy joined the Agnes Irwin staff this year as Co-Director of Alumnae Relations, sharing with fellow alumna Megan Boyle Flinn ’87 the joyful task of keeping all of you informed about Agnes Irwin today and in touch with your classmates.
