Reunion Time!

Many classes are holding their reunions this year and plan to join us at the Alumni tent on Friday, September 3, 2010. Check out the reunion page to see what your class has planned!

Manchester Loses an Icon...

Dave Douglas, 75, passed away unexpectedly March 8, 2010, in Vero Beach, Fla., where he resided.

He was born in Akron, Ohio and lived most of his life in Cuyahoga Falls. Dave was an exceptional athlete and won countless awards in various sports. He was a teacher, coach, and athletic director at Manchester Middle and High School for over 30 years, and his legacy will always be remembered by the students and athletes that he touched. Taking care of animals and flowers were his favorite things to do.

Cremation and a private ceremony will take place in Florida. Donations can be made to Manchester Athletic Dept. at 760 W. Nimisilia Rd.


Make plans to attend our annual Alumni Tailgate Party!

The date for this year's Alumni Tailgate Party is Friday, September 3, 2010.  This event is held under giant tents located just outside the stadium prior to the first home football game.  Free food and refreshments are available to all alumni and their families, and the classes of 1990 and 1995 will be kicking off their reunion weekends at the tailgate.  This is also the annual Hall of Fame game, with new inductees honored on the field at halftime and at a post-game reception under the Alumni tents.  All are invited to attend!

 

Annual Reverse Raffle and Silent Auction

We wish to thank all of those who attend this years reverse raffle and silent auction held on February 6, 2010 at Elm Ridge Party Center. A great evening was had by all, with wonderful support from many alumni and friends. The money raised each year at the raffle is used for scholarships for two deserving members of the graduating class. Thank you to all that helped to keep this tradition alive! We look forward to seeing you again in February 2011!

 

Alumni Association lends support to new MHS Chemistry Club

Manchester High has a new Chemistry Club for 2009-10, and the Alumni Association has provided funding to purchase supplies needed for the program.  Chemistry instructor Mrs. Sandy McClain and several dozen students are in the process of creating a "Chemistry Show" to present to 4th graders at Nolley, and hope to make it a yearly event.  Their goal is to establish an interest in science with the elementary school students, while learning to present and demonstrate specific concepts.  This club is a great way to cultivate interest in chemistry in an informal environment, introducing students to the possibility of future study or employment in the field, as well as providing the opportunity for educational community service. 

 


 Guestbook links for other Manchester educators

Manchester has lost several beloved staff members in recent months. Many alumni continue to read or add entries to their guestbooks, so we’re leaving the links online awhile longer for your convenience.

 REUNIONS: It’s not too early to start planning

 

For coordinators starting out, it’s best to assemble a dedicated committee to track down phone numbers, email and home-addresses of each classmate. The Alumni Association. can give you a head start with contact info, but for a good turnout, some phone work really helps. The website zabasearch.com is a handy resource to get phone leads.

Please keep the Alumni updated on your plans or requests for information, so we can post it here on our website “Reunions” link and also in our bi-monthly newsletters. Email Todd Lindeman at tlindeman@neo.rr.com.


 Receiving our PantherAlumNotes newsletters?

The Manchester Alumni Association produces a bi-monthly newsletter, Panther AlumNotes, which is emailed to those in our current database. We want to help keep you up-to-date on reunions, alumni events, obits, sports teams, classmate tidbits and special news involving the schools and grad community.

If you are not receiving PantherAlumnotes, click on the "Update Your Info" link at left and enter your contact information, or email Todd Lindeman at tlindeman@neo.rr.com. Please encourage your family and friends who are also Manchester grads to register! This is a great opportunity for the thousands of MHS alumni nationwide to maintain regular contact with their alma mater.
