The Blanco ISD Citizens Advisory Committee met on Monday, June 17, to make plans for the formal dedication of the renovated historical building.
“The historical building is a community treasure,” said Superintendent Dr. Buck Ford. “The local community came together, and supported a bond to both ensure its preservation, and at the same time significantly upgrade the educational facilities of our elementary students.”
“We want to give the local community an opportunity to participate in its formal dedication.”
The dedication ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, August 24, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM.
The following are some of the plans formulated by the committee:
Open house format;
Scheduled presentation including a Powerpoint overview with awards ceremony;
Panoramic pictures taken by Goldbeck Photography;
Awards for: Oldest Graduate, Oldest Teacher, Longest Tenured Teacher, and a special memoriam for Bernice West;
Ice water available in coolers, with special commemorative cups for guests;
Docents available in the galleries as resource people;
Ribbon cutting and bell ringing ceremony.
Goldbeck Photography, specialists in panoramic pictures, is scheduled to take a picture of alumni similar to the 50th Anniversary alumni picture of 1934.
“We want to have an alumni picture of graduates grouped according to their year of graduation,” said Ford. “Goldbeck has also agreed to take a second picture of everyone who is in attendance. That will enable families, loved ones, and former and present employees who aren’t graduates to also have a photo opportunity.”
Committee member Larry Kuebel said, “We want this to be open to everybody. We want to get as many alumni here as we can.”
Updates will be forthcoming as the date approaches.
