School Tour 5:00-6:30 p.m.
Walk softly! The green tiled walls have more secrets than you and I know! Maybe some of them will be revealed!
Join Brian Cheng, a chemistry teacher from ‘77 that currently STILL teaches chemistry at Scona along with Linette Smith (also a past student and current teacher) and reminisce with their old classmates about their time at Strathcona Composite High School (a soon-to-be-renovated building)!
Bring your Kids! Bring Your Grandkids! Mr. Cheng is bringing his Grandkids!
Alumni will have the opportunity to meet current students (including the current school president) and chat about life at Scona now!
There’s a CHANCE that there will be Scona gear for sale!!!!
And, of course there’s the photo opportunities with Gaylord!
Much of what will happen will be a surprise just because of the very nature of being together with we’re-not-sure how many people!
What I do know is that if this walk through the past doesn’t help you understand who you are today nothing will! It may or may not be a poignant piece of the reunion puzzle…but why would you miss the opportunity to find out? And just how much have things changed in 30 years? hmmmm…some quotes that might help?
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.” Nelson Mandela
“The school has always been the most important means of transferring the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next. This applies today in an even higher degree than in former times, for through modern development of economic life, the family as bearer of tradition and education has become weakened. The continuance and health of human society is therefore in a still higher degree dependent on school than formally.” Albert Einstein
“People will forget what you said, and people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Astraea
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” Dr. Seuss!
Come back to Scona and see what 30 years can do to a place.
Wow Aaron

Thanks so much for putting this together.
