Joey Day Pope '54 Volunteer Award

This award is given each year to a Catlin Gabel community member who personifies volunteerism within our community. The person should have longevity of service to the school, bring enthusiasm and commitment, act as an ambassador of Catlin Gabel, provide the gift of talent, and have qualities of character and responsibility.

Brenda Miller Olson selected for service award

We are pleased to announce that Brenda Miller Olson has been selected for the 2011 Joey Day Pope ’54 Volunteer Award. Brenda stands out for her long span of service to the school's athletic program. She has been an enthusiastic and committed three-season fan and team parent, has represented Catlin Gabel at countless school’s gyms, tracks, and fields, and has provided unparalleled support for Eagle athletes, parents, and coaches. Brenda has steadfastly given the gifts of time and talent, and has admirable qualities of character and responsibility. Her children are Eloise '11, Isabelle '09, Madeleine '07, and Harry '05.
 
"I can't even imagine another parent giving as much heart, mind, and effort over such a long period of time," says John Hamilton, coach and PE teacher. "Brenda is in a class by herself."
 
Brenda was honored at the Celebration of Leadership and Service on June 17.
