Planning Your Class Reunion
Reconnect. Reminisce. Celebrate.
Whether it’s been 10 years or 50, a class reunion is a meaningful way to celebrate your Madeira roots, catch up with classmates, and make new memories together. The Madeira Schools Foundation is here to support your efforts.
Reunion Planning Tips from Jen Shinn, Executive Director of MSF
✅ Start Early
Begin planning 6–12 months in advance to secure venues, notify classmates, and build excitement.
Form a Planning Committee
A small team of enthusiastic classmates makes the process more fun and manageable. Divide tasks like communications, logistics, and outreach.
Leverage Social Media & Email
Create a Facebook group or class email list to gather interest, share updates, and collect RSVPs.
Plan a Full Weekend of Fun
Many classes have found success with this popular schedule:
-
Friday night: Casual get-together at a local spot
-
Saturday morning: Guided tour of Madeira High School
-
Saturday evening: Main reunion celebration
We can help coordinate the school visit!
Coordinate with School & Community Events
Hosting your reunion during an eventful Madeira weekend—like Homecoming or the Independence Day Parade—can boost attendance and add to the fun.
Book Your Venue Early
Madeira and surrounding communities have great options for both casual and formal gatherings, but spaces fill quickly. Plan ahead to get your top choice.
Communicate Regularly
Keep your classmates in the loop with timely updates, event details, and deadlines. Clear communication = better turnout!
Include a Visit to MHS
