Golden Graduate Celebration

Golden Graduate Celebration, Class of 1961, May 26 – 28, 2011

Menaul School Class of 1961 –

It is our great honor to invite you to attend this year’s graduation ceremonies to celebrate the fifty year anniversary of your graduation from Menaul School.

As you may have heard, three years ago we began what we hope will become a long standing tradition of honoring our fifty-year or Golden Graduates. Last year the class of 1960 had a great time telling stories on one another and remembering (or misremembering!) the “good ol’days.” The pride they felt in Menaul School was evident on their faces as they led the graduation procession dressed in golden robes.

Well now it’s your turn! We look forward to having the entire Class of 1961 back on campus for two days of celebration culminating with the graduation procession on Saturday, May 28th.

The connection between Menaul’s past & Menaul’s future must remain strong. In order for that to happen, individuals who have left this sacred place to go on and live out our motto “Sea la Luz” throughout the world must now give back to the place that meant so much to them during their formative years. You are one such individual.

Please make plans to join us for the weekend of May 26 – 28 to celebrate your time here at Menaul. Early indications are that most members of the Class of 1961 plan on attending. You don’t want to be the only one not here!

We look forward to seeing you in May!

Blessings –
