A MESSAGE ABOUT REUNION 2021

Dear Reunion Alumnae,

I write to share an important update regarding our upcoming Reunion Weekend. Following CDC guidance and state and county restrictions on in-person gatherings, we will host an all-virtual Reunion Weekend this spring on April 23-25.

We are working hard to create unique and meaningful ways for you to reconnect with Holton-Arms and each other virtually this spring. We are also working with members of the class Reunion Committees to ensure interesting and engaging programming. We will host a variety of events using various platforms to connect you with your classmates, other alumnae, and the School.

You will receive emails and updates about these events in the coming weeks and months. Online registration will open in March.

Safeguarding the health of our alumnae and students and doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 is our highest priority. We are incredibly disappointed that we won't see you in person this spring, but we look forward to the unique opportunities that a virtual Reunion will make possible and to hosting, as soon as it is safe to do so, an in-person celebration for all alumnae who have missed in-person Reunions in 2020 and 2021.

We will be in touch soon with more information and look forward to celebrating virtually in April! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Warmly,

Amanda Novak Hewitt '04
Director of Alumnae

AWARDS

The Holton-Arms Alumnae Association celebrates recipients of The Distinguished Alumna and The "Rosie" Awards once a year during the Alumnae Association Celebration and Induction Brunch on the Saturday of Reunion Weekend.

ALUMNAE AWARDS NOMINATION FORM

The Distinguished Alumna Award

The Distinguished Alumna Award was established by the Board of Directors of the Alumnae Association in 1973 to recognize the career, professional, or volunteer service accomplishments of an outstanding alumna of the Holton-Arms School.

2021 Distinguished Alumna - Anne Blossom Keiser '66

A 14-year Holton student and current Trustee, Anne Keiser ’66 began identifying passions early in life that evolved into a lifelong commitment to making a difference. These early experiences included using a brownie camera to observe and capture a world different than her own, discovering the beauty of two-part singing in second grade, and growing from Physical Education teacher and coach Betty Nevitt’s teachable lessons on tough sports losses. These helped define her life’s journey, which echoes a mantra spoken by her Sherpa friend, Mingma Norbu: “Our purpose in life is to be better citizens in our community and to the world.”

After earning a degree in music from Middlebury College, Anne worked as a photo editor and photographer at the National Geographic Society. She traveled the world with crews that produced PBS documentaries on topics ranging from endangered wildlife to the accomplishments of mountaineer and explorer Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to summit Mount Everest.

As a freelancer, Anne continued to document Hillary’s life as a humanitarian; her book, Sir Edmund Hillary and the People of Everest, describes his community work building schools and hospitals in remote Himalayan villages.

She served as an advisor to Dreamline, a program that grew out of one of her Hillary school presentations, in which students, inspired by the concepts of Buddhist prayer flags and global service, share their dreams with others around the world. This program is now an international resource for teachers: dreamline.org.

Anne also documented public health projects around the world, raising awareness of health needs of indigenous people.

Her love of choral singing led her to join The Choral Arts Society of Washington in 1975, where she has also served on, and chaired, the board. The Society stresses choral music’s power to unite people across their differences.

Anne’s passion for tennis led her to join the board of the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation in the 1990s. There, she helped at-risk youth become life champions through tennis and academic excellence. She also served as an official photographer for both WTEF and what is now the Citi Open, and was inducted into both the WTEF/Citi Hall of Fame (2016) and Holton’s Athletic Hall of Fame (2008).

Other past and present board involvements include The Middle East Institute, the Sulgrave Club, Chorus America, the Greater Himalayas Foundation, and the Smithsonian National Board. She also serves on the National Council of World Wildlife Fund US and the Smithsonian Women’s Committee, and she co-chairs the Smithsonian Legacy Society with her husband, Doug Lapp. They reside in Washington, D.C.

The "Rosie" Award

Created by the Board of Directors of the Alumnae Association on September 17, 1990, The Rosemary Wire Anderson ("The Rosie") Award recognizes an alumna's extraordinary service to Holton-Arms. It was presented for the first time at Reunion Weekend in 1991 to Rosemary Wire Anderson '58. The award recognizes extraordinary service to Holton faculty, volunteers, employees, and members of the Board of Trustees as well as the Alumnae Board.

The "Rosie" Award is a surprise to the recipient and will be announced on Saturday, April 24 as part of our virtual programming.

Athletic Hall of Fame

Established in 2000-2001, the Holton-Arms Athletic Hall of Fame honors and perpetuates the memory of those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Holton-Arms athletics and have helped bring recognition, honor, and excellence to the School and its athletic program throughout its history.

In 2000-2001, the Centennial Year, the idea for an Athletic Hall of Fame arose to honor student athletes, individual teams, and outstanding coaches throughout the history of Holton-Arms School.

Members of the Athletic Hall of Fame should serve as a standard of excellence and inspire current students and teams to achieve their own level of excellence. The 2020 Athletic Hall of Fame inductees will be inducted in person as soon as it is safe to do so.

2020 - Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees

Ylva Bostrom Ihrig ’87

Ylva Bostrom Ihrig ’87 started at Holton as a ninth grader, when swimming was not a School sport and swimmers practiced with their outside teams only. Ylva was still required to take P.E., even though she spent three hours in the pool each day. With the support of then-P.E. teacher Peggy Whilden and two 10th-grade swimmers, Niki Neviaser ’86 and Theresa Adams ’86, Holton started its first-ever swim team. Having an official team provided swimmers with the opportunity to compete in “Metros,” the D.C.-area championship meet at the end of each season, where Ylva earned an All-Met Honorable Mention. By her senior year, the Holton swim team made it into the yearbook, signaling to many that it was officially a Holton sport!

Ylva swam for four years on the varsity swim team at Princeton University, with a focus on butterfly and middle-to-long-distance freestyle. She received the Friends of Princeton Swimming Award during her senior year. Ylva spent a year between college and veterinary school working at veterinary clinics and coaching swimming, which included some practices at Holton’s then-new pool. Ylva was thrilled that the Holton swim team had not only continued; now, it finally had a place for students to practice together.

Ylva attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 1996 and continuing her training at VCA South Shore Animal Hospital in Weymouth, Mass. She returned to Northern Virginia in 1997 and has been a practicing veterinarian in the area since then. She is the owner of the Animal Clinic of Clifton, in Clifton, Va., where she cares for cats and dogs.

Ylva started swimming competitively again about 10 years ago and now trains and competes with a group of “Master swimmers” at L4 Swimming. She is back to swimming long-distance freestyle and looks forward to open-water swims in the area this summer. Ylva lives in Fairfax Station, Va,. with her husband, Robert (also a veterinarian), and their cat, Dumbledore.

Heather Geddes Healy ’74

Heather Geddes Healy ’74 was a rare 16-season varsity athlete who competed in basketball, field hockey, softball, and track and field. She joined Holton in the ninth grade and describes sports as both an entry into her new community and an anchor within it. During her freshman year, Heather became the second freshman to start on the varsity basketball team. Her love of sports and pure athleticism contributed to her induction into HAA her sophomore year. Heather served as HAA president her junior and senior years.

In addition to her seasonal sports at Holton, Heather was a co-rep for Holton’s badminton team and brought home ISL championships two years in a row. She also received the Outstanding Basketball Player Award in 1972 and the Holton-Arms School Special Athletic Award in 1973. During her time at Holton, Heather developed and executed the first-ever field day for new Lower and Middle School students before school started. Heather recalls, “This was especially important to me, as I understood what being a new student among a group of established friends meant. Sports were a way for me to join and I wanted other girls to have access to that gateway.”

After Holton, Heather received her B.A. from Mount Vernon College and holds a Master’s of Social Work from University of Maryland. For the past 30 years, Heather has incorporated sports and physical activity into her treatment sessions and plans with adolescent and adult clients to advance their mental health and well-being. Currently, Heather serves as the Director of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, which provides behavioral health services for 50,000 flight attendants from 20 airlines and their families. Heather has been designing and directing workplace trauma response and behavioral health prevention and early intervention programs across federal, state, and non-governmental organizations for nearly four decades. Heather lives in Rockville, Md., with her husband, Brendan. They have four children, Brittany, Brendan Jr., Samantha, and Courtney.

Arlyn Katzen Landow ’95

Arlyn Katzen Landow ’95 grew up playing baseball with boys. In fact, she was the first girl to play in the Rockville Baseball Association (previously known as the Rockville Boys Baseball Association). Arlyn was a three-season athlete at Holton. As a freshman, she made the varsity teams in soccer, basketball, and softball. In softball, she truly excelled—so much so that her Holton coach suggested she try out for club teams and look into playing at the college level. At Holton, Arlyn was varsity softball’s MVP all four years, and her junior and senior years, she served as team captain and was voted First Team All-League, First Team All-County, First Team All-Montgomery Squad, and All-Met. She was also selected as the Washington Post Athlete of the Week during the spring of her junior year.

Arlyn was recruited by several colleges and ultimately decided to continue her softball career at the University of Pennsylvania. She was voted Honorable Mention All-Ivy League her freshman year and First Team All-Ivy League her sophomore year. After a knee injury ended her career, she immediately jumped into coaching, even while finishing her studies at Penn and throughout law school. Arlyn coached several local teams and, as her daughters became softball players, began coaching at the club level. She has also coached for the past four years at the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Penn. Arlyn currently coaches with the Pennsylvania Chaos organization, widely considered the best softball club on the East Coast, and travels around the country all summer for the club team. Additionally, Arlyn owned an indoor batting facility dedicated solely to softball development for young girls.

Arlyn currently resides in Villanova with her husband of 20 years, Robert, and three daughters, Blake (16), Brynn (14), and Charly (12). Blake and Charly are both club softball players, with Blake now beginning her own college recruiting process. Arlyn is a member of the University of Pennsylvania Softball Board of Directors.

Jane Kinnamon '67

Jane Kinnamon ’67 began playing team sports as a fifth grader at the Country School in Easton, Md., when she had her first opportunity to play. Jane had a talent for sports in any season and in her sophomore year—after only one year on Holton’s field hockey, basketball, softball, and track teams—she was inducted into HAA. She was captain of both the field hockey and basketball teams in her senior year. Jane’s classmate writes, “Jane had the body and the mentality of a true athlete. While others could run, she could glide down a hockey field or a basketball court. As a halfback, I always looked for Jane to be open for an outlet pass on the hockey field, and as an exceptional wing, she could move that ball down the field with speed and control. On the basketball court, she could head fake and go in for the easy layup. Her accuracy on the free-throw line was exceptional. Jane was gifted at birth with the body of an athlete, but her heart, soul, hard work, and spirit…made her a true champion in my mind.”

In addition to her talent in sports, Jane was invited to join the Social Service Society during her junior year. This school group shopped for and sold food to boarders, and proceeds went to an orphanage.

After Holton, Jane graduated from the University of Iowa and then Mercy Hospital’s Medical Technology School in Baltimore. She worked in medical labs throughout the Baltimore area until her retirement in 2016. Jane continued to enjoy sports as an adult in Baltimore. She played on an AAA women’s fast-pitch softball team and coached a women’s softball team. Jane also enjoyed more informal basketball and racquetball games, and spent much time sailing—a pastime she continues to this day.

A friend of Jane’s wrote, “You would want a Jane Kinnamon on your child’s team, but not just because she was such a gifted athlete. More importantly, you would want a young player who set such a fine example in sportsmanship. Jane always saw herself as a member of a team.”

GIVING COMPETITIONS

THE 2021 REUNION GIVING COMPETITIONS WILL CLOSE ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21 AT 11:59 P.M. EST.

Current standings are posted below and will be updated every few days!

Reunion is an occasion to reflect on the difference Holton-Arms has made in your life and to give back in support of the School. We are asking all Milestone Reunion Alumnae to consider making a gift to the 2020-2021 Holton Fund and/or a gift to Holton's endowment, ideally in the form of a 5-year commitment.

Gifts made over five years allow smaller gifts to add up quickly, and the entire amount will count toward your class’ Presidents’ Cup standings. All Holton Fund gifts will count toward your class' Champagne Cup standings.

Donate for Your Class TODAY

The Holton Fund is the primary fundraising effort at Holton-Arms. The School depends on ongoing annual contributions to sustain daily activities, to support excellent faculty, and to look toward the future. From lab equipment to computers, financial aid to sports activities, art classes to school plays, the Holton Fund supports the people and programs that make up the Holton experience for every girl, every day. Since tuition alone does not cover the cost of a Holton education, gifts to the Holton Fund provide funding for the School’s most immediate needs:

Compensation and benefits for our talented and dedicated teachers;
Equipment and supplies for academic, arts, and athletics programs;
Professional development for faculty and staff;
Innovations to our rich curricular offerings;
Experiential learning opportunities locally, nationally, and globally;
Upgrades to instructional technology;
Maintenance of our campus and facilities.

The Champagne Cup is awarded to the Reunion Class achieving the highest participation in the 2020-2021 Holton Fund by Reunion Weekend. The Presidents’ Cup celebrates the class achieving the highest level of philanthropic leadership to Holton during a Reunion Year by Wednesday, April 21 at 4:00 p.m. EST.

Both awards provide friendly competition among Reunion Classes with the reward of exclusive champagne service throughout the weekend.

Nothing says celebration like a bottle of bubbly!

Toast to Reunion 2020

Lecture by Dr. Christopher C. Wilson: Best Friends at the National Gallery of Art

By studying art history at Holton-Arms, students discover works of art that feel like friends, though they may have been created centuries ago. Favorite images that the girls see in person at D.C. museums help them to make sense of their lives – their experiences, feelings, and aspirations – and to discover their own place in history. This lecture by Art History teacher Christopher Wilson focuses on paintings at the National Gallery of Art that have especially resonated with our girls, ones that draw their attention like a magnet when they walk through the rooms of the museum. Christopher will discuss the content and historical context of these remarkable images, from Judith Leyster’s self-portrait that advertises her skill as a painter in a male-dominated art world, to Tiepolo’s monumental depiction of the warrior queen Zenobia, who issues orders to her army. Christopher will examine these masterpieces and consider what they say to young women in the twenty-first century. Couldn't make it live? Tune in below!
