Subject: Invitation to Central High/JHS Alumni to participate in Community Homecoming Parade on Friday, October 5th
From: Jill Johnson
First, I'd like to thank the Alumni that took part in the Homecoming Community Parade last year. We had a tremendous response last year from our alumni community with approximately 75 alumni taking part in the parade, ranging from the Class of 1936 to the Class of 2006! I'm working off a list from last year so if you're receiving this email and you are not an alumni, please let me know and I will correct my address book.
It's hard to believe but it's that time of year again and I look forward to the opportunity to grow the participation level even more! Continuing with our celebration of our school district theme "Rich Tradition, Bright Future", Terry Quist (Class of 1971) & I are once again organizing a Central High/Jefferson High Alumni group to walk/ride in the Community Parade in celebration of Homecoming on Friday, October 5th.
The parade begins at 3:30PM, participants need to meet prior to that at the parade starting point @ St. Mary's Church, 420 Irving St. The JHS Parent Advisory Council (PAC) suggests arriving no later than 3:00pm so all the floats & participants can get lined up and the parade can begin on time. The parade route to my knowledge starts at the St. Mary's parking lot; 5th to Broadway to 12th St; ending at JHS with a rally on the far end of the parking lot (close to the football entrance). I invite you to include any children/grandchildren you have attending our schools or that will be future students. They can wear school spirit/Cardinal colors if they want & I think it just reinforces once again our theme of "Rich Tradition, Bright Future". Also, please share this message with other friends or family members that are alumni and may have an interest.
Alumni are invited to stay for the pepfest in the JHS Parking lot, and/or attend the Homecoming Football game that evening at 7:00PM at Citizen's Field when the Alexandria Cardinals take on Little Falls. If you wish to return to your vehicle at St. Mary's after the parade, we will have a District 206 school bus available at the front of Jefferson should you need a ride.
For those of you that participated last year, hopefully you kept your bright red short-sleeved alumni t-shirts with "Class of ...." denoting the year you graduated on the front. If you didn't get a t-shirt last year or need a replacement or different size, Cowing Robards will generously provide those at a cost of $5.00 per shirt. (It may be a good idea to order 1 size up from what you normally would wear so that in case of chilly weather it's big enough to pull over a sweatshirt/sweater). Just let me know when you respond if you need me to place an order for a t-shirt for you. I'll need to know the t-shirt size you want to order and the year you graduated. The t-shirt order deadline is one week from today, Friday, September 28th. I will take care of turning in the orders to Cowing Robards, bringing the shirts to the parade & collecting your $5.00 at that time.
I look forward to hearing from you and truly hope you can join us in this fun, community event! Go Cardinals!
