On Friday, March 21, the Singapore Embassy in Washington, DC was buzzing with conversations and reconnections. The sight of Singapore’s red and white flags instantly brought back memories for alumni, former educators, and former parents who once called the Little Red Dot home. The event, co-hosted by the Singapore American School Office of Alumni Relations and the Singapore Global Network, brought together over 120 Eagles, all of whom have connections to Singapore. Adding to the significance of the evening, this gathering was also a way to honor the country’s 60th birthday.
Then there was the spread of Singaporean food—satay, Hainanese chicken rice, nyonya kueh, and, of course, the famous Singapore Sling, which quickly became a popular choice among our guests. Our Eagles couldn’t resist snapping photos of their plates, swapping stories about their favorite hawker stalls, and fondly recalling late-night bites at Newton Food Centre.
The power of a shared story was on full display that evening in the Singapore Embassy, all grounded in their love for the Lion City and the memories made at SAS. It was a reminder that no matter how far our alumni have traveled or how long it has been, being an Eagle—and having roots in Singapore— means always having a place to come home to.
