Dear JTD Alumni,
Last week, the John Thomas Dye 6th graders stood in John Dye Hall, dressed in their suits and white dresses and celebrated their years at JTD as they graduated. We congratulate the class of 2025 and welcome them as new John Thomas Dye Alumni. Their future is bright and full of possibility.
The JTD Alumni have had a full couple of months. In April, we held our spring alumni meeting over zoom. Thank you to all who joined. The spring meeting is special because it is a wonderful way for all Alumni, regardless of geography, to stay connected to JTD. This year, Ms. Helm led a panel discussion with past teachers and faculty. We were treated to old stories from teachers like Mr. Lee, Mr. Zacuto, Mr. Phelps, and Ms. Aijian. Listening to them speak, I felt like I was back in the halls of JTD again. The spring zoom panel is fast becoming one of my favorite Alumni events.
Last month, YazFest rocked through campus and was a great success. I loved catching up with so many alumni, new and old, at The Fair this year! It’s always such fun seeing groups of friends volunteer at the Alumni Soda Booth and saying hello to multi-generational families at the Alumni Brunch.
As always, we are grateful to each and every alumnus. It is because of you that our community is vibrant and thriving. And thank you especially to the JTD DYE-HARDS for your continued commitment to the School. If you would like to become a DYE-HARD and have yet to make a contribution to the Annual Fund, remember to do so here before June 30 to be invited to the Alumni Reception this fall. And if you haven’t participated in an Alumni event, but would like to be part of the DYE-HARDS, please email Olivia Vandergriff. We always love hearing from you.
Have a wonderful summer and see you in the fall!
In Love, Beauty, and Truth,
Mary Corman '97
