On Jan. 10, Addison Trail hosted its annual Young Alumni Day, where alumni from about the last seven years were invited back to the school.

About 120 alumni attended the event, which involved touring the school; enjoying refreshments; and visiting with friends and former teachers, coaches and staff members.

“Young Alumni Day is a wonderful opportunity for us to stay in touch with our recent graduates and keep them connected with their alma mater,” said Michael Bolden, Addison Trail Principal. “It’s amazing to see them as young adults and hear about their successes. This event truly embodies our motto of Blazer Pride and Once a Blazer, Always a Blazer.”
