SKS on the Road kicked off on Friday, November 6, with an alumni gathering in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The spirit of The Storm King School extends well beyond the Mountain, connecting alumni across generations and throughout the country, and this year’s series began with an evening of reconnection, shared memories, and conversation. These gatherings provide an opportunity to celebrate the lasting bonds formed at SKS and keep the alumni community connected, wherever life takes its members.
