REUNION - JULY 24-25, 1999
Over 300 Attend Joyous Reunion Weekend!
In what can only be described as a outstandingly successful Reunion
Weekend, over 300 Cherry Lawn School alumni, faculty, trustees,
family members and friends gathered from around the world to celebrate
the school that they loved. The culmination of the Reunion Weekend was
the unveiling and dedication of a permanent memorial plaque on the
grounds where the school operated for over fifty years.
