The June 11 gathering of the Salado Reunion  will be the 90th anniversary of the annual event.  The reunion will be held at the Salado Intermediate School at 550 Thomas Arnold Road.  The reunion provides an opportunity for former students, teachers, families and friends to enjoy a time of visiting and remembering together.  Any current or former residents of Salado are also invited to attend.

The registration will begin at 9:30 a.m.  Attendees are welcome to stay and visit until 3:30 p.m.  A catered lunch of chicken fried steak, gravy, red skin potatoes, green beans, salad, bread, drink will be prepared by Captain Red’s of Hutto.  Dessert will also be provided at the reunion.

The meal will be served at noon, following a short business meeting.  There will be ample visiting time both before the meeting, and during and after the lunch.  Lunch tickets are $10/a plate and reservations should be made by June 1.

Special recognition will be given to classes celebrating anniversaries of graduations (such as 25th, 50th, etc.)  Recognition will also be given to  the one who traveled farthest to attend, the oldest graduate in attendance,  the youngest in attendance, and the oldest teacher in attendance.

In conjunction with the reunion this year, the Salado School Alumni Association (SSAA) will also sponsor its 1st Annual Food Drive in support of Salado Family Relief.  The Alumni Association has determined that this is the best way to reach the most Salado students and their families who are in need of assistance.  Please bring one or more current non-perishable food items.  The Association hopes this will be a very successful annual event.

For any questions regarding the reunion, contact Sherry at 254-760-0663 or Linda at 254-721-3095.  For questions regarding the Salado Alumni Association or the association’s food drive, contact Nancy at 254-947-5196.

Jupiter and its four brightest moons are high overhead this month, with Mars and Saturn rising towards the end of the evening.  Bright moon Io will pass in front of Jupiter and emerge onto the dark background of space.  Mars is larger and brighter this month than at any time in the last 11 years.  The rings of Saturn are wide open and several bright moons are visible.
