Episode 3: A Story of Family, Resilience & the Lasting Impact of Peck

Just one grade apart, Sam ‘21 and Lexi Schnur ‘22 shared much of their childhood together at The Peck School before continuing on to Pingry. In this episode, we reflect on what it was like growing up side by side, the unique bond that comes from sharing so many milestones, and the lasting friendships and experiences that shaped them along the way. We also talk about one of the most difficult chapters in their lives and how that experience strengthened their family, influenced their perspectives, and reinforced the importance of the Peck community during a time when support mattered most. Their openness, resilience, and gratitude make for an incredibly meaningful conversation. From funny childhood memories and sibling stories to thoughtful reflections on growth, family, and life after Peck, this episode is both heartfelt and inspiring. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Sam and Lexi Schnur! 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. #ThePrideCast #PeckSchool #PeckAlumni #PeckPride
