Good Morning Class of '81 Poets,
In preparation for the cruise next year, you may want to look at your expiration date on your passport to ensure it doesn't expire until at least a month after the cruise. For those who don't have a passport, you will want to start the application process right away. The process can take months.

Please contact Betty Jo if you are interested in coming out.

Working hard today to plan for the 45th class reunion in 2026

Test

Had a good time at the reunion. It was good to see everyone.

Good afternoon. I pray all is well. I am sending this letter in reference opinions/suggestions on a 40thClass reunion for the Sidney Lanier High School Class of 1981.

It has already been suggested for a one evening vent. Maybe an all White Attire Event. Tentative Date in July.

Please spread the word on social media, regarding the need for input on the reunion.

This is a big deal for us. So let's join together like never before.

We need you!

THE LANIER ALMA MATER

Dear Lanier, though fleeting time
May bear us far away from thee
Forever in thy hallowed halls
Each heart will dwell in loyalty.
Faithful to the blue and white We will be.
And before thy shrine of knowledge
We will kneel to thee

Alma Mater, thy standard waves
Triumphant through each passing year;
We love thy spirit, true and brave,
Thy courage through each threatening fear,
We will hold when we began our lives anew,
Memories of the sheltering walls,
And of thy friendships true.

Thanks,

Pamela Osborne, Chaplain,
