Do you keep up with how your former high school has been doing since you graduated? I receive a newsletter quarterly and enjoy reading it and seeing how the school and the students are doing there. I enjoyed high school very much and miss the memories and friends back then. Does it matter to you how the school and the kids in your former school are doing? I love hearing all the success stories and hope that all the kids in my high school do well and become very successful in life. I am also always paying attention to their sports teams and cheer them on. Do you donate any money to the school?

Our local newspaper has a high school page for the high school newspaper staff to publish their articles. So we are always aware of what is going on. Our newspaper only comes out once a week but the high school has an entire page in it every week. Complete with pictures. It is not only great for the community to keep up with the happenings at the school but it is a great way for the high school journalist to get realy training

I have nothing to do with my old school or friends. It held too many unhappy memories for me. Also, it has been mega years ago since I graduated. I have moved around the states a lot too. I don't want any memories or to receive anything from school.

I graduated in 82 and have not heard hide or hair from the place where I left..I do think we will be do for a reunion so I suppose there will be an effort to at least contact the class..You are lucky that you receive your school's quarterly newsletter..Did you initially ask for this to be sent to you..or did they just start sending the newsletter to you??:)+

I am surprised that schools do not try and keep in touch with their former students. I like knowing how my former school is doing in all aspects and probably will attend more events in the future. They automatically send it to all the graduates once they leave. I am glad they did. I am sorry for the late reply my dear friend.

I get information from my high school classmates reunion every year, we invite our former teacher and have a chatting with each other. I live in my hometown, so I can learn a lot from others about my high school. It's a key shcool of Liaoning Province, and our kids are trying to pass the examination to enroll this school. So we are paying attention to its progress and developing steps. I even give some professional classes to the teachers of my high school which I feel very proud of to help them promote their teaching level.
