St. Thecla School Plans 50^th Anniversary/Reunion, September 11, 2010

If you remember-Hot Dog Days, Color Tag, Sewer Tag, Forensics, School Plays and Christmas Shows- this is for YOU!

With the Felician Sisters at the helm, we learned together, prayed together and played together-and it had great impact in forging our character and spirituality.

Five decades of young people-from 1960-2010, have moved through our hallowed halls and many have gone on to send their own children to St. Thecla School. Some even returned to work here! That, we think, says it all!

Pull out your Blackberries or personal calendars and save Saturday, September 11, 2010, for the St. Thecla School 50th Year Anniversary Celebration. We will start with 4:00 p.m. Mass and then move into the Gym for an Open House from 5-9 p.m. You are invited to visit the Festival of Ministries in the Activity Center and return on Sunday, September 12 for our St. Thecla Parish Homecoming Picnic.

There is much to be done! You can help in many ways:

• If you would like to join the committee, please contact us at 50years@stthecla.com All are welcome!
• If you know how to find someone-classmates; teachers; please let us know.
• We are also looking for stories you would love to share. Please include names and events as well as scanned pictures.
• We are collecting old photos (electronic or paper copies only, no originals, please label with dates and names if possible) and other memorabilia (uniforms, beanies, ties, pennants, yearbooks, lunch boxes etc.) Especially needed is the old maroon and gray girls uniform. (Again, please label with name and phone number.) These items will be returned.

If you have any questions, want to send us something or want to sign up to be a part of this night, let us know by emailing 50years@stthecla.com
