ALUMNI SERVICES
Mohonasen
and Draper alumni now have a means for reuniting: the Mohonasen High
School Alumni Directory 2003. The directory was sponsored and funded by
the Mohonasen Foundation for Excellence in an effort to reach out to
valued alumni seeking to reestablish ties with classmates, schoolmates,
and their Mohonasen heritage. It contains the names of all Mohonasen and
Draper graduates 1960-2001 and biographical information that will help
graduates locate long-lost friends. Data solicited from alumni updates
residence, employment and family information. Alumni are listed by class
year and by current geographical area.
A
history of the school districts traces the history of Rotterdam schools
as far back as 1821 to the present. Photos recall memories of the schools
we attended and a few popular activities. And in case you’ve forgotten
your alma mater, it’s there, too.
It
took more than a year to collect directory data from over eleven
thousand alumni. To make the task more manageable when the Foundation
publishes an updated directory in 2008, we’d
like to urge classes that are organizing reunions to share their records with the Foundation.
Those records would be used by the Foundation strictly for updating the
directory. Updated records can be sent to the Foundation at P.O. Box
4207, Schenectady, NY 12304. Alumni can also thumb through the directory
at the Foundation’s display at Community Day, the SEFA fair and other
community events. Search for long-lost classmates, people from the old
neighborhood, or the class clown. Check the directory for your personal
entry and register updated information.
As Mohonasen and Draper graduates, you have many
fond memories of high school – your fellow students, teachers, and those
special programs and projects that not only made school exciting for you
but also helped you become successful. The Mohonasen Foundation wants
current students to have the benefit of all it takes to make their days as
memorable. In these days of fiscal restraints it is a struggle for the
school district to provide the extent of meaningful academic experiences
you remember so well.
That is why the Mohonasen Foundation exists. It is
an organization independent of the district but working to support
district goals. Since 1997 the Foundation has funded over $80,000 through
sixty grants that provided students with portable telescopes, hundreds of
books, technology equipment, ELA programs, music and art projects, summer
reading programs, student assemblies and much more. In order to continue
our programs we ask your help.
Gather your classmates and friends and attend our
biggest fundraising event,
a buffet dinner and silent auction, on Friday, November 6, 2009 from 6-10 p.m.
at Mallozzi’s on Curry Road. It’s sure to be an evening of reunions
and memories. Dinner reservations, at $45.00 per person, can be obtained
from Foundation members or from Craig Radliff at (518)356-4358.
Another way to contribute is to donate silent
auction items. Or you can purchase an ad to advertise your business. Ads
at $150, $100 or $75 are also available from Craig. Whichever way you
choose to contribute, your generosity will help the Mohonasen Foundation
improve education for all Mohonasen students.
Thank you for your generosity to your alma mater.
