Starting to remember the good ol' days?????? 

We're Still Here

I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Winter Break/New Years Holiday!! Now that the holidays are over it's time to get back on track with this reunion planning thing.  July will be here before we know it!

 If anyone has any ideas for the Sunday family fun day at the Fort please leave a comment or send an email (bshs1992reunion@gmail.com).  We are definately thinking bounce houses for the little kids are a must.  Any other ideas for kids and adults? Any outdoor activiites come to mind? Speak up if you have any ideas, thank you!  I'll make sure your ideas get forwarded to the Sunday Fun Day "committee".

As a side note, I believe "save the date" cards are going to be mailed out soon. Most of us know what date the reunion is but there are many who are not on Facebook and we want to cover all of our bases for letting classmates know what is going on with the Reunion.

Happy February!
