The Alumni & Alumni Parent

We’re thrilled to invite you back to campus for lunch in our  Dining Commons! 

January 4th is a teacher work day, so students will not be on campus—giving our faculty and staff time to visit and reminisce with you. It’s the perfect opportunity to catch up with favorite teachers, stroll the campus, and reflect on memories that helped shape your BCD experience.

Mr. Kersey will be joining us, as well as Robin Frank, BCD’s  Head of School, who began her tenure in July 2025. Robin looks forward to meeting you and hearing your stories of what makes this community so special.
Whether you’re in high school and off for the day, back home from college on winter break, or back living in the area, we’d love to see you!
 
Date: January 4, 2027
Time: Noon - 1:30pm (Open House)
Location: BCD Dining Commons
 
Please RSVP if possible so that we can plan for food and seating accordingly. Questions should be directed to Diana Emerson, Director of Marketing and Alumni Relations, at demerson@bouldercountryday.org or (303) 527-4931.
