On May 18, 2010 area alums from the class of 2000 gathered for their 10 year reunion at a local restaurant with Unquowa faculty and friends. Jimmy Tomaselli, Maggie Proctor, Jordan Warren and Shannon Cain joined us for a fun evening of reminiscing about their years at Unquowa, looking through old yearbooks, catching up with each other and hearing a bit from Sharon Lauer about what’s happening at school today.

The next day, Jimmy and Maggie stopped by school for lunch and to spend the afternoon visiting with Unquowa faculty and staff. We encourage all alumni to stop by and visit the school if you are in the area!
