JUDSON FOUNDATION NEWS By Marcie Terp The Judson Foundation's Board of Trustees is charged with the responsibility of guiding the developmental activities and implementation of the Foundation's scholarship and alumni programs. Board members include a cross-section of constituencies representative of Judson that include alumni, parents and others and is a separate entity from Judson School. Beginning with the Board of Trustees first meeting in January, 1995, the Judson Foundation continues to grow and enrich the Judson Experience. The highlight events over the past year include The Judson Foundation and Judson Alumni Association organizing an All Ages Alumni Reunion. As Judson School entered its' 70th year of education, the Judson Foundation hosted a Salute to Henry C. Wick, III dinner during Reunion Weekend in June of 1998. In October 1998 The Judson Foundation hosted a successful Dinner/Auction at Monterra Restaurant at Westworld. This event, which focused on the parents, successfully brought attention and future interest from parents and faculty to the growth of the Foundation. These fundraising efforts enabled The Judson Foundation to award $5,000 in scholarships to deserving Judson students for the 1998/1999 school year, and $3,000 in scholarships for the 1999/2000 school year. $10,000 for new playground equipment, and $4000 for new computers at Judson School. In May, 1999, Judson's 5th Annual Senior/Alumni Breakfast was held. Setting a further precedent, seniors were inducted into the Alumni Association helping to assure their future interest and participation in Judson alumni affairs. During the May 22, 1999 graduation ceremony, a special Judson Foundation award will be presented to the senior student who had contributed the most to the Judson student community during the past year. These May events are scheduled for the graduating class of 2000. Currently in development is the Judson Foundation Web-Site that will insure all possible efforts in the continued growth and future success of the Judson Alumni and Foundation. A reunion evening is scheduled for June 3, 2000.

FROM THE HEADMASTER Dennis P. Gray Calls and e-mails have arrived from all corners of the globe, asking "Is it true?" So, apparently, have alum networks and connections been abuzz. It's been a time of disbelief and dismay for many people. But something else is happening, too. Those of us at Judson, many of you, and an energetic group of "can-do" current parents, have reaffirmed that "The Judson Experience" is worth preserving. I know that it is the experiences you shared with each other and with the faculty and staff on campus that really count. And no taking away of a single piece of land or a building, erases good memories. Surely, though, there is value in having a place to visit in years to come that displays Judson memorabilia, embodies the best of the Judson that was, employs the same caliber people and tries to replicate the best of the experience for a new generation of students. You'll hear more about these efforts in coming months. In the mean-time….thanks for your messages. We are looking forward to welcoming many warmly remembered faces back on campus the weekend of June 3. to see more click on "product and Services"
