On Friday, March 25th, SJND will host our 4th Annual Day of Giving
One Day - One Heart - #OneSJND
$75,000 in 24 Hours!
These past two years with the pandemic have left an emotional impact on our students, families, and the greater community. As we rise up and navigate our “new normal,” we are still vulnerable. SJND’s Day of Giving is a day when our collective hearts shine, and we celebrate what makes the campus on Chestnut Street so special.
The values of kindness, community, unity, and gratitude continue to be the heart of SJND. This year we ask ALL members of the greater Pilot community, near and far, to come together for One Day - One Heart - #OneSJND.
Give in support of current students and what fuels your passion. You can chose the SJND cause you love.

Looking for Alumni Career Day Speakers for March 10, 2022 |
|
|
This year the Alumni Office we will be hosting Career Day in-person and virtually on March 10, 2022. For alumni attending in person, we ask that you provide proof of vaccination or recent Covid test and completion of our Daily Health Screening.
We are looking for alumni to speak on the career fields the students are interested in learning more about which include business, finance, marketing, sales, technology, engineering, health and medical sciences, arts, design and entertainment. Students would like to learn all the options of a career path, for example if you majored in business in college, what are the possible job opportunities available for a person with a business degree.
This year we are also looking for alumni to lead skills workshops in resume writing, interviewing, job searching and networking, adulting 101 and maintaining an appropriate presence on social media.
Career Day will be on Thursday, March 10 beginning at 11:10 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Each volunteer will be asked to speak or lead a class for 40 minutes. If interested, please contact Alumni Director, Vicki Bargagliotti by February 16.

Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.

The Class of 1970 Reunion committee decided to postpone the Golden Reunion and celebrate your class turning 70 in 2022. The Reunion Committee felt that by 2022 most classmates would feel comfortable traveling, staying at a hotel if need be and of course gathering and celebrating your friendships through the years. Tentatively we are leaning towards Saturday, August 21, 2022.
The Alumni Office is working closely with the Class of 1970 Reunion committee which consists of Kerry O’Hara Plain, Victoria Smith, James Paul and Brian McDonald. For additional questions or concerns, please contact Vicki Bargagliotti
