In today's post, two Prep moms, Stephanie Lyons [Sean ‘16] and Sandra Fecca [Chris ‘16], share their story about how the Mothers' Club Fashion Show was a catalyst for friendship and an opportunity to become more closely connected to other Prep families.
The Fashion Show is one of many Mothers' Club traditions, and in the spring of 2012 we met at the “Feeling Groovy" themed show.
Our boys would be freshmen in the fall. We
remember feeling nervous, not knowing if we would feel comfortable in the Prep
community or among the other mothers that we would meet.
The two of us were
seated together at the Fashion Show and after we introduced ourselves we
immediately started to talk about where we were from and about our amazing sons. We got along and felt
comfortable with each other from the start. We had a great conversation and lots
of laughs. We remember leaving the Fashion Show excited about the new journey our
sons were about to take – and the one we too were now on.
We kept thinking, “WOW", what an amazing group of women we
met today, not only at our table, but in the whole room! In May of 2012 we
met again at the Incoming Mothers’ Reception where we exchanged information and
kept in touch throughout the summer. Today our friendship has grown and we've been blessed to meet other
amazing moms on our journey. We all keep
in touch and often get together for a girls night out. This past year we co-chaired Homecoming 2013 (O Holy Night theme). We are thankful and honored to
call these amazing women our friends! And we owe it all to the Fashion Show.
