Alumni Spotlight: Lynn Olesky Leyden ’04

We were thrilled to welcome Lynn Olesky Leyden ’04 back to campus this month! Lynn recently attended Amy Burns’ Family Music Class with her baby and made a surprise visit to Grade 4 teacher Tara Hartmann’s classroom, where Tara happened to be teaching math at the time. The quick hello turned into plans for Lynn to return today and enjoy lunch with Tara in her classroom.

Fun fact: Tara used to babysit Lynn and her siblings! All five Olesky children are proud Far Hills alumni. After graduating from FH, Lynn attended Newark Academy and then Johns Hopkins University. She went on to build a career in the fashion industry in New York City, including working for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s brand. More recently, she’s put her professional life on pause to focus on her most exciting role yet—being a mom.

We love seeing alumni return to reconnect with the people and places that helped shape them. Welcome back, Lynn!
