Spring Fling: Celebrating the Season
Hundreds of parents and members of the Rivers professional community gathered on the turf in MacDowell Arena on Friday to enjoy music, delicious food, cornhole, and—most of all—one another’s company. A spring party celebrating the completion of another successful school year is a Rivers tradition; it has taken different forms over the years, but the throughline is always the joy of community and coming together. Friday’s party was no exception. Guests mingled and chatted late into the evening at the casual get-together while nibbling on lobster rolls, burgers, fries, and Cobb salad.
The cool temperatures forced a last-minute pivot away from the tent and into MacDowell, but the event retained an outdoorsy vibe, with Adirondack chairs, little camping lamps, and beautiful flowers transforming the arena—the site of AP exams earlier in the day—into a fun and festive event space. Attendees were delighted to spend a joyful evening in one another’s company. As Head of School Ryan S. Dahlem said while welcoming the crowd, “Tonight is a celebration of you, our parents and caregivers, and of course our professional community, who make the Rivers community so special. You are the reason we are here.”
