ALUMNI COUNCIL BENEFIT
THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2024
 
Join Head of School Dr. Tom Kelly, HM administrators, alumni from across the generations, and friends at this festive cocktail party offering a top-shelf bar, delicious light fare, and a fantastic silent auction. There will be plenty of opportunities to reconnect with classmates, network, forge new friendships, and pick up some terrific prizes!
 
All proceeds fund the Horace Mann Student Lunch Initiative, a project designed to raise the $260,000 needed to fund the lunch subsidy program for qualified students in Grades 6 through 12 who receive financial aid. This important aspect of the school's financial aid program provides approximately 190 students with prepaid school lunches, ensuring proper nutrition and helping to ease the economic burden on HM families. The Student Lunch Initiative is a great way to feel connected to today’s student body. Please help us make a difference in the lives of HM students and their families!
 
The location of the venue will be confirmed shortly. Please check back soon!
 
To purchase sponsorships and tickets or donate auction prizes, please contact Maggie Matthews at (718) 432-3452 or maggie_matthews@horacemann.org. To get involved in the planning of the event, reach out to event co-chairs Jennifer Friedman ’08 (jennifer.friedman1@gmail.com), Mariel Grossman ’02 (Mariel.mangold@gmail.com), or Lindsay Kane ’02 (LindsayKKane@gmail.com).

NOMINEES SOUGHT FOR THE
HORACE MANN SCHOOL AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT
 
The Alumni Council invites all current students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends to nominate HM graduates who have demonstrated excellence in their professional life/field of talent and have had a lasting impact on society to be considered for the 2024 Award for Distinguished Achievement.
 
The recipient of the Alumni Association’s Award for Distinguished Achievement is selected annually by the Alumni Council on behalf of the Alumni Association. First presented in 1939, the award seeks to honor sustained achievement and meaningful impact. Past winners include Pulitzer Prize winners, artists, poets, writers, scientists, entertainers, doctors, inventors, lawyers, judges, and other notables. The annual award dinner has become a well-recognized and highly anticipated affair.
