May Newsletter
Here's hoping all of you are looking forward to a great summer! And thanks to those of you helping to track down classmates via Facebook or other websites...we have emails for over 35% of our class! Keep sending them to our classwebsite...you know who they are!
Many apologies for the delay in getting the registration/ticket purchasing feature ready on the website; for those of us still beholden to the academic calendar, May is a busy time. It’s a high priority and we’ll notify you as soon as it’s ready to go.
Sadly, last month saw two influential members of the ECHS family pass away. Mr. James Morehouse, longtime administrator at El Cerrito and athletic star James “Pops” Mitchell, class of ’84. You can learn more about the great services and programs funded by the James Morehouse Project at El Cerrito High and read an article from the Contra Costa County Times. And, our class condolences to Angela Mitchell-Doxey on the loss of her brother. An article about James also appeared in the Contra Costa County Times.
Your ’85 Reunion Committee,
