Demolition of West Junior High School
Yes, the storied walls of West Junior High will literally come crashing down on Monday, June 8th, 2009 at 10:00 AM. Some of you went there, some of you did not (let's not start an East vs. West war over this). Either way, a piece of our history is coming to an end to make way for three (3) new schools to be built on the West Junior High property.

Informal Class Get-Togethers
There have been a handful of informal class get-togethers, and a few more are in the works. If you've already joined the Maple Alumni site and Facebook, you'll be in the know! Of course, I'll do my best to keep everyone informed as I find out about the different events.
Maple Class of 2009 Seniors Get Quite a Send Off!
If you've been watching the local news, you'll know that our beloved school has been through some rough times: Low test scores, low state ratings, a devastating teacher's strike six years ago... But the Class of 2009 received a very thoughtful surprise from their teachers this year. Check out the article on Maple Schools' website, or better yet, watch the news article on WKYC Channel 3's website!

Pass It On!
Please forward this email to anyone you know from Maple Heights High. Classmates, former classmates who moved away during school, teachers, even people from other classes. We'd like to reach as many classmates as possible!
Well, that's all from here for now. I hope to see all of you soon at a get-together and eventually a full blown Class Reunion very soon! With the advent of the Internet, email, and now social networking sites, we don't have any more excuses! Let's make it happen!
Best Regards,
Brian K. Speck
