The Rye Country Day School community sends its heartfelt condolences to the family of Mrs. Barbara Pierce Bush. Mrs. Bush, a member of the RCDS Class of 1943, delivered the commencement speech in 1982 and continued her connection to and support of Rye Country Day throughout her life.

This week RCDS welcomed six alumni back to campus to meet with Grade 11 and Grade 12 Peer Leaders. The alumni, who were also Peer Leaders during their time at RCDS, shared their experiences and reflected on the leadership skills they developed while participating in the program.

Thank you to RCDS alumna and current parent Dr. Cory Kercher '97 for meeting with the Women in Science Enrichment (WISE) after school program. The WISE program is part of an ongoing initiative at RCDS to build interest and participation in science in an effort to combat the underrepresentation of women in science related fields. Thank you to Dr. Kercher for sharing her story with our students and fueling their interest in medicine and science.

Hosted by the Alumni Executive Board, the Career Networking and Mentoring Evening kicked off with a welcome from Headmaster Scott Nelson and an introduction of the alumni advisors by AEB member Ashok Chachra '95.
