It is with great pleasure that we announce the first annual Escuela Alumni Award recipients!
Last spring, we sent out a call for nominations for our first Escuela Alumni Award to recognize former students who have become global citizens who do amazing things in their communities. We have made it our priority to re-engage and celebrate the amazing, accomplished, and colorful alumni that have come through our little yellow house and our Blue Gates.
Among the nominees for the award were journalists, artists, humanitarians, and educators of all ages and all stages. There were so many incredible submissions, how could we choose just one?! The three that were chosen are representative of our MANY outstanding alumni.
This is a new tradition that we are excited to share with our community. Join us for this new celebration of our generations of alumni and their families on campus on Friday, October 6, to reconnect with the magic of Escuela and to celebrate these amazing award recipients.
Escuela del Sol Montessori has been growing lifelong learners for over 55 years. Through the generations, many of our students and their families have shared the outsized impact that Escuela del Sol has had on their lives and careers. As an alumna myself, I can look back and see how my life has been directly impacted by the fierce sense of curiosity that I developed during my time as a student here. I’m eager to reconnect and share in the experiences of fellow alumni.
We look forward to seeing you in October as we spend an evening hearing from our amazing award recipients, and sharing stories and memories with other Escuela students – past and present!
With gratitude and excitement,

Kate Chavez
Executive Director
