Dear Classmates:
Planning for our 40th high school reunion has been quite the challenge. This is our first reunion in 35 years without Gretchen Freymiller Tompson leading the planning; we lost her to cancer in November 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic is also presenting challenges.
Given the uncertainty of the pandemic situation, the Reunion Committee decided to move to a virtual gathering this year and postpone our in person 40th reunion celebration to September 18, 2021.
Join us via Zoom meeting/call from 6 - 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 26, 2020. RSVP on our Contact Us tab. We will email you the official invitation with the Zoom meeting details.
This year's event will be an informal gathering to chat and reflect on the 40 years that have passed. We would like to get your feedback too on our in-person 2021 Reunion's venue and activities.
Help us ensure all classmates who have passed are accounted for. Go to the "In Memoriam" page and make sure your friends are noted. If you have a favorite high school memory you would like to share of one of our classmates, you will have the opportunity to do so at our virtual gathering, or email it to me pamelajhaley@comcast.net and one of the reunion committee members will share it for you.
You can contribute the following to our photo gallery---your high school picture and a picture of you now, pictures of classmates while in high school, and any favorite pictures you have from past reunions. Please email any pictures to: pamelajhaley@comcast.net and nanilsen62@gmail.com
For our 30th reunion, Gretchen and I had a vision to start a scholarship at LaFollette in honor of our class. At the 30th reunion, we raised $2000 for scholarships. In the last 10 years, our class generously funded from reunion silent auctions, golf outings, and other fundraisers more than $15,000 for graduating LaFollette seniors.
The future of the scholarship fund was so important to Gretchen that she left $2500 from her estate to the fund. In honor of Gretchen and all of our classmates who have passed on, the Reunion Committee has challenged that we meet or beat Gretchen's donation this year.
How can you do this? Go to: Fmps.org/donate/give to a fund/LaFollette High Class of 1980 Scholarship Fund or send a check written to: FMPS LaFollette Class of 1980 Scholarship and send to:

Be safe and healthy!
