Social Event- Romeo and Juliet at Centerstage

What says love like stabbing yourself with your husband's dagger after he decides that it would be better to drink poison than live without you? Celebrate Valentine's Day a little early as the Richmond Alumni Chapter takes to the stage (CenterStage that is) for Richmond Shakespeare's production of Romeo and Juliet. February 12 at 8:00pm.

If you are interested in coming along, email us at richmondalumni@governorsschoolfoundation.org as soon as possible so we can make sure we have enough people for the group ticket rate. 

Governor's School 20th Anniversary Alumni Showcase

Dear Richmond Alums,

Our alma mater is turning 20 this year (can you believe it?), and the Richmond Alumni Chapter has been asked to stage a full-day Alumni Showcase on Friday, April 1, 2011, from 9:00AM-2:00PM, to help celebrate this milestone.   

In conversation with the school, we have decided that the best way to share our experiences and connect with students would be to have two 40-minute small-group sessions in the morning followed by a large presentation in the afternoon, with plenty of refreshments to keep us going.  The schedule will look something like this:

9:00: Alumni arrive at school and convene in the conference room.  Breakfast nosh and guided tours of the school will be available.
10:00-10:40: Alumni break off into groups of 3-5ish people for small panel discussions with students at various locations throughout the school. 
10:50-11:30: Same panels, same location, new group of students.
11:30-12:45: Lunch
1:00-2:00: All alumni invited to participate in large presentation on stage in auditorium.

We plan on putting the panels together based on common experiences and/or careers, so students will get some idea of the opportunities that exist in a given field.  In the afternoon, we envision a large-scale presentation in which we reflect on our experience at the Governor’s School and answer any questions the students might have for us.  Anticipate at least one question about Ms. McKay’s ties to the CIA.

What do you think?  Got something you’d like to say to current G-schoolers?  If you think you might be interested in participating, and want a good reason to take off work on April Fool’s Day, please let us know by Friday, Feb. 4. 

Happy New Year!
