Potomac Falls High School Class of 1999 Reunion

Hey everyone!

Thanks to those who have signed up for dodgeball, there are currently 13 teams competing. A couple of them have spaces available to fill the maximum of 12 per team, so let us know if you want to play and we'll get you on one, or if any groups of 6 or more want to team up the deadline is Friday.

If your business would like a free booth at the open house there are still some spaces available for that, please reach out if you need that contact info.

Everyone is of course encouraged to stop in and show some support for the school. This is also a fundraising event for them for some needed improvements and updates.

Email us with any questions and we hope to see you on the 23rd!

Potomac Falls HS on Twitter “ONLY A FEW MORE WEEKS UNTIL NIGHT AT THE FALLS! MAKE A TEAM. MAKE A TRIVIA TEAM. MAKE A PLAN TO BE THERE! YOU WON'T WANNA MISS THIS NIGHT! Everything you need to know is here: https://t.co/Em074kHI21”

Can you believe it's been a QUARTER CENTURY since our high school opened? We did the math. It's true.

To celebrate the opening of Potomac Falls, the school is putting on an event on Saturday April 23rd at 4pm. The school's administration has requested our presence as the first alumni to have graced the halls!

Please see the attached flyers for the day's events, there will be a silent auction, scholarship ceremony, and interactive history of PFHS, and much more.

For those of us who have small businesses and want to participate in the vendor open house, all booth fees are waived for alumni. If you have something you'd like to promote, please contact [email protected] and she'll get you set up.

The only thing NOT noted in the flyers is a DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT, which was finally approved. You can form a team of six or more in advance, or sign up to hop on a squad when you get there. There's a good chance we'll be matched up against current or recent graduates, so maybe lay off the potato chips and beer for a few weeks...

This looks like it will be a great event for us to get together after the nightmare of COVID, and provide some support and draw for the school.

If you have any questions let us know, and we hope to see you there!

What a weekend!

A big THANK YOU is in order to all the alumni and significant others who were able to make it out to this weekend's events. It was a fantastic turnout of people who came from everywhere from Sugarland Run to San Diego.

Dr. Wolfe the current principal at PFHS and assistant principle Mari Estrada were able to get the language department's Giselle Schneider and a couple SGA students to show us around the school on Saturday, it was wild to see all the changes and upgrades the school has made in 20 years... from upgrading the chalk boards to 70 inch flat screens, out to the new artificial turf football field. The students also filled us in on a nasty rumor that our original mascot was The Salmon (due to the paint scheme) which we hopefully squashed.

Chefscape was fantastic... Jason and Carlye set up a wonderful space with great food and decorations, Katie handled the drink tickets and name tags, and Dave hooked us up with throwback videos from our senior year. It was so great to see people who may not have been in the same high school circle, catching up and having a great time together.

Vanish on Sunday was HOT, but we got to meet some kids and dogs, and have a few drinks and laugh it up about the old days. It's wild to see how much we've all grown up!

There's some talk about a "Quarter-Century Bash", but lets try to keep in touch with each other until then!

If anyone has pictures taken from the events PLEASE forward them to this email address, or post them to the page!!

Everyone take care!!

Ms. Giselle Schneider of the Language department set us up to see the changes and upgrades they've made since 1999. We had two knowledgable SGA students lead us, and got some sweet new gear at the school store! The students also told us about a disgusting rumor that has stood the test of time... that we were originally supposed to be called the "Fighting Salmon" due to the colors painted on the walls...

If you’re meeting us at Vanish we’re at the Beach Bar.....have tables and a bartender 😁

Is everyone excited!?!

So a couple things... first and most importantly, the current principle of Potomac Falls Brandon Wolfe, and vice principle Mari Estrada have welcomed us to take a guided tour of the school at NOON on Saturday. They have really taken care of the facility and made some impressive changes I think we'll all be excited to see. The tour should take about an 30-45 minutes and they will also have someone manning the school store, if anyone is feeling extra nostalgic and would like to buy any fresh new outerwear, or school supplies for their kids! If it's something you're interested in doing, please RSVP to this email so we know how many to expect.

GOLF OUTING - It's been decided that due to the long day and now school tour, it makes more sense those who wanted to partake in the golfing that we make a reservation at Topgolf, Loudoun for either morning or afternoon. All are welcome to attend whether you hit balls or not, the reservation cost is $10 per person and will be finalized on Wednesday, please email [email protected] by Tuesday night if you'd like to join!

There are still tickets available for the "main event" on Saturday night (available up till Wednesday night), so if you've been putting it off or know anyone who has, now's the time to finalize your plans!

A reminder that Vanish on Sunday is kid and dog friendly, also any friends from BRHS or PVHS are welcome to attend as well, the more the merrier.

If you have any questions feel free to give us a shout, see you soon!
