Saturday, May 22nd was the perfect evening for Reunion 2010. More than 150 alumni returned to campus with their spouses and children for the festivities.

Current parent, Co-chair of the Board and alumna Deirdre Daly '77 was presented with the Distinguished Alumni Award and Charlie Dietrich, introduced by Ed Denes, was honored for his 25-years of service to GFA.

The Super Duper Weenie Truck served delicious meals as Rex Cadwallader and his trio played jazz. Alumni lingered on campus well into the night, exploring the new wings of the school and reminiscing with old friends.

GFA is excited to announce that we will be moving ahead with the next phase of our outdoor renovation this summer. We will be building eight new tennis courts and constructing a permanent baseball diamond that will support and enhance our current athletic program.

GFA would like to make you aware of what we have accomplished in the past decade and the future goals of the school. Please look at the "state of the school" piece below.

Congratulations, Deirdre!"
