The Caltech Athenaeum was an elegant backdrop for Flintridge Prep’s annual party thanking the school’s most generous donors. Headmaster Peter Bachmann thanked guests for embracing a culture of philanthropy, noting that construction on the Collaboration Building will begin in May, with plans for completion in time for the start of classes in fall 2020. Bachmann went on to thank Kathy and Karl Swaidan for their long-standing commitment to Prep. Karl served one term on the board of trustees, and was board chair from 2016-18. Kathy was a dedicated volunteer as their daughters completed their high school journeys. In his remarks, Karl enthusiastically described the school’s culture of kindness.
