Mix in the Meadow Brings Community Together

Mix in the Meadow Brings Community Together

What a wonderful atmosphere for this year’s Mix in the Meadow! This cherished Old Trail tradition was held on September 27 and once again brought parents, alumni and friends together for an evening of connection, celebration and community.

Set against the backdrop of our beautiful campus and the colors of early fall, guests enjoyed live music, delicious hors d’oeuvres and an assortment of beverages while catching up with familiar faces and making new friendships. The evening’s relaxed atmosphere created the perfect opportunity for conversation, laughter and the start of another exciting school year.

Mix in the Meadow has become more than just a social gathering — it’s a reminder of the strong bonds that make Old Trail so special. Whether reconnecting with longtime friends or meeting new families, attendees shared in the joy of being part of a community that values both tradition and togetherness.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this memorable event and helped carry forward the spirit of Old Trail. Thank you for making Mix in the Meadow a highlight of the fall season!
