2017 All Class Reunion under way! |
July 29, 2017 |
|
Once every five years the population of Boundary
County swells dramatically, seemingly overnight,
as people who shared the experience of attending
school here are invited back, no matter where in
the world life has taken them.
Though it is a regular event, no two Boundary
County All Class Reunions are ever the same, not
merely from the standpoint of activities and
events that change with the times, but of the
faces who grace us with their presence, the
memories they bring. Then there are the memories
of those who have passed on, but who will never
be forgotten.
Each reunion, the memories change, but never
grow old.
While the 2017 All Class Reunion is officially
today, there are many events that are already
over and many to come as each class, each group
of old friends, each member of each memorable
team who've ever pulled together with Badger
pride each go off to share the memories that
they crated and cherish.
Each memory, individual and collective, is part
and parcel of a much larger and shared tapestry
made by every person who has ever attended a
school in our community, whether it was from
kindergarten through graduation, a year or two,
or even a mere part of a school year. For
everyone who trod the halls of the schools of
Boundary County didn't just take what was
offered as preparation helpful to make their way
in the world, but each left a little of
themselves, too, becoming part of our community
history, part of the myriad memories that have
together forged a community as good as any in
the world and better than most.
While the big events that make the All Class
Reunion the biggest celebration in Boundary
County and the only event worthy of being a
quinquennial event have yet to take place; the
opening ceremony won't be held until 7:30 p.m.
and the first note of music of the street dance
won't sound until 8 p.m., a lot has already
taken place today, a lot of memories shared.
Here are but a few images that the memories
might abide until the next Boundary County All
Class Reunion. And be sure to check back, as
we'll add more photos of the remaining events as
they happen.
On behalf of the committees who worked hard to
make the 2017 Boundary County All Class Reunion
a success, welcome home to all who are here! |
