THE 50TH REUNION OF THE MIAMI PALMETTO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1968 MAY 4-6, 2018
To the Miami Palmetto Senior High School Class of 1968 on our 50th Reunion:
As many of you know, the great Palmetto Class of ’68 will be celebrating its 50th Reunion on May 4-6 in Miami. When recalling your memories from those years so long ago, there are likely more from the activities, sports, clubs, and arts in which you were involved, and maybe not so many of writing papers and doing math problems. These were important years and the extracurricular activities cultivated lasting friendships and good memories.
To mark our 50th high school graduation, the Reunion Committee suggested a gift to benefit as many students as possible. Over 1,000 students use the gym for sports and athletic events and around 300 students participate in music classes, band, and orchestra activities. In consultation with Victoria Dobbs, the current principal, we set a goal to raise enough money to purchase musical instruments for the students and to refinish the old gym floor. The gym is an integral part of the school’s campus, providing not only a physical space for activity, but also as a source of school pride. If we can fund both projects, a plaque will be placed in the music room and the gym acknowledging that the gift is from the generous Class of 1968.
We already have a $25,000 matching gift that will match dollar-for-dollar the first $25,000 that classmates give. No gift is too small, and we hope as many people as possible will participate. Many of us are grateful to Palmetto, and we want to raise enough funds to benefit current and future Palmetto students, who now sit in the seats we did 50 years ago.
