THEME OF THE REUNION: A time for celebration, gratitude, and reflection

PREAMBLE: This year our school will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of its founding.  To mark this special occasion, we are holding a grand Jubilee Reunion on Saturday June 29, 2013 in the Great Ballroom at Leonard’s of Great Neck in Long Island, NY.  It would be a very special night to meet with school mates and teachers and to reminisce about the happiest five years of our lives in Guyana; and to give thanks to the people and to celebrate an institution which has done so much to shape our lives. 

We have chosen Leonard’s of Great Neck for its scenic location and opulence as well as for its elegance and sophistication. Cocktails in its exquisitely-landscaped gardens will provide photo opportunities of a lifetime.  Our intention is to make the evening as memorable as the Diamond Jubilee Anniversary we are celebrating.
