These Prep Moms forged bonds that
lasted long after their sons graduated
It’s now been over ten years since twelve Prep moms were actively
involved in Prep’s annual Fashion Show—where the dynamic between
them was so great that they decided to extend the good time beyond
that day. A few weeks later in June of 2002, those same moms with sons
graduating from ’02 to ’05 seized an opportunity to reassemble to celebrate
Chris Larsen’s birthday.
Such was the incipience of the Birthday Club—twelve moms with
eighteen sons between them, spanning graduation years ’96 to ’06 who
have met multiple times each year not only to celebrate birthdays but
for dinners, lunches, plays, concerts, holiday get-togethers, and summer
festivities.
They’ve shared memorable milestones including college graduations,
weddings, births, and the loss of friends and family. They’ve been there for
each other during periods of stress and illness, and have seen each other
through trying times.
They share the sentiment that their boys were not the only ones to gain
life-long friends, fellowship, love and support from their days at Prep. The
bonds forged during the years their sons graced the halls of Prep have
taken on a life of their own and are a testament to the ties that bind and the
spirit of family at Fairfield Prep!
This past August, once again at an outing spearheaded by Chris Larsen,
the group assembled to celebrate their ten year anniversary!
