🎓 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
