10 Years Ago

10 years ago today we graduated! On this day 10 years ago, we all took our seats at Storm Stadium and walked together for the last time. Many of us moved away, went on to college, joined the military, started families. Who misses wearing their letterman's jacket to games? Watching performances at assemblies? The commons? Hearing music blasted on the loudspeakers during STENS? STENS?!

The last decade (let that sink in... DECADE) many of us have been out of touch. People we used to see every day for four or more years (some of our friendships go back to middle or elementary school) are now just our Facebook friends. This is why we need our reunion! We need the opportunity to see each other and catch up, take pictures, and create new friendships. Our graduation group was huge, there are so many stories for us to share with one another at the reunion--10 years worth of stories.

The date is set. Our reunion will be this year on Saturday, October 25.

Our class had no reserve fund to pull money from to use for deposits and such, so we are trying very hard to find somewhere to have our reunion.

Congratulations class of 2004 for all of your accomplishments in the past 10 years!

Save The Date!

We have set the reunion date!! Saturday, October 25!

Jennifer Fierro

Hello! After high school I went to RCC and earned an AA in Humanities and an AS in Natural Science. I transferred to UCR and earned a BA in History with a minor in Dance. From there I started working as a Substitute Teacher (they call us Guest Teachers now) for the Beaumont Unified School District in Beaumont, CA. A few years later I started grad school for a Master's in History. I plan on earning a single-subject credential in Social Studies with a supplementary credential in Science. I want to teach high school history and after school teach a class or two at a community college. I don't have any kids yet, and I'm not married... but I do have two dogs! haha I live in Banning now. I have been looking forward to this reunion for a while, but when I realized there wasn't anything organized I jumped at the opportunity to plan something fun for all of us!

See you soon!

Venue

Hello Mustangs and Knights!

We have an appointment Thursday afternoon to look at a possible venue for our reunion! It is our top choice so we hope it goes well. It is located in Riverside, so it is pretty close to home.

We are the process of booking a DJ and photographer.

The manager of the venue we will look at on Thursday has suggested a caterer who has the appropriate liquor license for our event. We will get the caterer's information on Thursday when we meet up with the manager for our tour.

As always, if you have any questions send us a message! Either on the contact form here, to the email address listed to the right, or to us personally.

Setting the Date

Hello Friends! Patty Franco and Jennifer Fierro are working on setting the date for our 10 year reunion!

The date will be finalized on Saturday May 10 after the poll is officially closed and all the votes are counted. If you haven't yet, please participate in the possible reunion date poll pinned to the top of our Facebook group page.

We are currently looking at a few locations for the reunion, and we do have a favorite or two. It will depend on the date.

Also, we have researched that the average cost of a reunion per person is around $75.... no. We are looking closer to $25 a person for the reunion, which will help cover the venue, appetizers, and so on. A Paypal link will be added shortly.

A 2004 Graduate list has been started, as well as a Gone But Not Forgotten list. These lists are still being added to and are not yet complete.
