Is your class planning a reunion? The Fruitport Education Foundation is here to support your reunion planning. We may be able to provide some of the following to aid in the planning process:

• Class list of names 
• Tours of one or more of the school buildings
• Event information included on our website's Reunion page, on the Fruitport Education Foundation Facebook page, and on the Trojan Nation Facebook page.

Contact Tina at tvanderwall@fruitportschools.net for assistance.

Reunion planning tips:

It is best to begin the reunion planning process at least 12-18 months in advance. This allows the reunion committee to be formed, the class contact list to be updated, a date to be set, a venue selected, and most importantly, your classmates enough time to make proper travel arrangements.

Here are some things to consider when planning your reunion: 

• Gather a reunion committee; establish a chairperson, treasurer, and committee members.
• Begin updating your class contact list. Encourage classmates to use the Alumni/Friends form on the Alumni tab on our website.
• Determine the preferred type of event (casual, formal, multi-day, etc.) and select a date (or time of year – summer/fall).
• Determine financing (bank account, budget, and reservation fees).

Build an event plan and budget based on some of the following items:

1. Venue and format
2. Invitations (printed and/or electronic)
3. Registration (online and/or printed registration)
4. Decorations (flowers, table decorations, banners)
5. Entertainment (band, DJ, sound system)
6. Photographer (professional, photo booth)
7. Mementos (memory book, novelty, prizes and/or awards)
8. Marketing and communication (class contact list, web page, email account)
9. Deceased classmates tribute
10. Additional reunion activities (school tour, pre and/or post reunion events)
