Alumni Night

I wish I had taken time to take more pictures last night, but the constant stream of alumni at the alumni booth made me forget about my camera and focus on the almost 100 alumni that checked in. What a great night! It was fun to see graduates from the 70's, 80's (some of whom had kids on the field in the game!), 90's and 2000's. We gave away $200 in gift cards, candy for the alumni kids, and free popcorn compliments of the Booster Club.

A highlight of the evening was taking group photos of graduates from the 70's-80's, the 90's, and the 2000's and then watching as they stood around in small groups chatting! It was fun to watch as old friends caught up with each other's lives. Check in again in a couple days when I will have posted group photos of alumni at the game!

Of course, for the students, the 53-6 (I think that was the final score! I didn't watch much of the game.) win over Seattle Lutheran and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen were the night's truly memorable moments. Tonight, about 140 high school students will be taking a Homecoming dinner cruise. It was just last year that the tradition of having a Homecoming Formal began.

Thanks, alumni, for coming. Hope to see you again next year!
