Verde Valley School students ride their horses with the sun setting in the background in December 2019. Due to COVID-19, some precautionary measures will be taken this fall in the equestrian program.

This past Tuesday, about 60 alumni joined Donita, Jeff Perkins, VVS Board Chair, Richard Greenberg ‘71, the Advancement Team, and me for a virtual party. It was a special moment for many – some who had not seen one another in forty years. Imagine, it took a virtual event for people to actually reconnect with one another. Laughter, tears, and great VVS stories ensued. The virtual event was so successful that we will do it weekly through this COVID-19 situation, and maybe beyond.
