Planning for a the 35 Year Reunion is underway. If you have moved in the last 5 years or not received an invitation to the last couple of reunions, please send me your mailing address.

From 1968

Message from Derek Wright '99 Class President:

Unfortunately I am far too busy to organize a ten year reunion. If anyone is else is interested in organizing, I would be very grateful. I have too much going on in the next two years and I would not be able to commit the time.
Thanks,
Derek Wright

The Class of 1989 is currently planning their 20 year class reunion for the summer of 2009. If you have not been contacted by someone from the planning committee, please email CLASSOF1989WCHS@ROCHESTER.RR.COM with your mailing address and email address, if you have one, so that the committee can contact you with the reunion information! We look forward to hearing from you!

The Class of 1959 is planning their 50th. Please send address info to William Bridson via the Alumni Directory.

As part of our commitment to excellence in preparing our students for the future, Wayne Central now mandates each student to complete a 40 hour unpaid, career focused internship. This experience allows the students to become directly involved in the workplace setting, apply classroom skills in real world situations and gain a better idea of the type of career they may or may not want to pursue.

In order for this program to be successful we need your help! We are specifically looking for you as alumni, community members and professionals to become mentors for our students. This is your chance to give back to the community, the school and reacquaint yourself with the Wayne Central High School.

As a mentor for the Internship Program you would be required to:

• Mentor your student at your workplace
• Jointly establish goals and objectives for the internship
• Share your expertise
• Provide a safe working environment
• Define areas of confidentiality with the intern
• Complete an evaluation of the intern
• Keep in contact with the school’s Internship Coordinators

For more information please browse our website at :
www.wayne.k12.ny.us/modelschools/internship.htm

If you are interested in becoming a mentor please contact one of the Internship Coordinators; either Sarah Francis at (315) 524-1185 or sfrancis@wayne.k12.ny.us or Scott Bradley at (315) 524-1183 or sbradley@wayne.k12.ny.us.

Just a couple items about the website:

• The problem with the symbol showing up everywhere or else not at all has been fixed. New listings in the last two weeks or so have the new symbol and all future new listings will and then be displayed for 3 weeks.
• Along with that improvement, updated listings will not be lumped together with new ones. Presently updated listings from today on will have a symbol displayed for 3 weeks. I'm not listing these together anywhere presently, but may later.
• A number of users have taken advantage of the Upload Photo feature, and from what I can tell, it appears to be working OK. Send me a message if you experience any difficulties with this feature.
• Working on a new Message Board feature which I hope to have ready soon. Rather than try to integrate an existing system, which can have some drawbacks, this one will be a rather simple roll-our-own type. Though the message baords never really attracted much use, I thought that one more attempt would be worth it.

Here is a link to Photos from the Class of 1968 40th Reunion. It was held at the High School cafeteria and it includes some photos taken during a tour inside of the school.

Take a look at the pictures and you may notice Mr. Powell, Mr. Cataldo, and Mr. Taber.

Thanks to Fred Miller for the photos (and the lunch!!).

The Class of 1979 has set a date for their 30th Reunion. The date will be November 28, 2009. More information to follow. Until then, anyone who wants more information can email Debbie Lynch at dreynol1@rochester.rr.com or contact Theresa Congelosi at theresacongelosi@yahoo.com.
