At Friends School, we are over the moon about our 30th
birthday! We have so much to be proud of and celebrate: three decades of
passionate, soulful teaching and hundreds of thriving graduates who make this
world a better place.
If you haven’t seen this video about our humble beginnings, please take two minutes to see
what 1987 at Friends School looked like. Back then we were Friends British
Primary School. The original logo is on the flags in the photo at the top of this
article.
As many of you may have heard, our auction is on hold this
year so that we can focus our resources on making gifts to our Annual Fund a
priority. My wife Steph and I have decided to triple our Annual Fund gift this
year, bearing in mind what we would have given to the auction.
During this break year our staff is exploring alternative
fundraising events, such as benefit concerts and farm-to-table dinners. Please
keep your eye out for an upcoming survey so that you can weigh in on the
discussion.

Parties
of course, are also just plain fun. We are having a fun 30th Birthday
Party at Rayback Collective on January 19th. If you didn’t see the
Save-the-Date, I’m including it below. This family-friendly party will include a
credit toward dinner and cake (gluten-free). Our in-coming Head of School,
Honor Taft, will be there with her family. (I think this makes this event a double-header).
A little
background on Rayback Collective: it’s a community
park in the heart of Boulder with local food trucks and craft beer. It began
with a dream and a kickstarter campaign and is deeply rooted in community. We
think its philosophy and laid-back authenticity make it the perfect venue to
celebrate our 30 years of teaching to the head, hand and heart.

Hey! We also celebrated 25 years of teaching last month in a very big party venue. We also added some cool activities for the kids. This party had to be grand, so we also invited the parents of the students. It was great fun, there was good food and soulful music.
