A barbecue and reunion will be the highlight of the 60th anniversary celebrations at Maryborough Public School in Moorefield on June 13.
Organizer Ginny Franklin says the reunion event is being held in conjunction with the school’s annual spring carnival.
“So we’re going to support the barbecue and then we’re going to have celebration cake and ice cream,” she said.
Franklin said Wib Brown, who was the first principal at Maryborough PS when the school opened in 1954, initiated the reunion event. Brown, currently living in Waterloo, “wanted to see how many students he could reconnect with.”
Franklin said there will be photos of the class of 1954 and some other memorabilia on display during the evening, which she said will be an informal come and go-style event.
“It’s for anybody that’s interested in the school or who wants to reconnect with someone.”
The event will be held at the school from 4 – 7pm.
