Website Updates

Posted by admin on March 25th, 2007

Welcome alumni, staff and all friends of Macdonald High School!

As you’ll notice there have been a few changes to the website recently. A group of dedicated volunteers are working around the clock to bring you the information you require to enable you to participate in and keep you aprised of the 2007 Centennial Reunion taking place from May 18 through 20, 2007.

A couple of things for you to take note of:

  1. An EVENT SCHEDULE has been uploaded to this website.
  2. Registration forms for the 2007 Centennial Reunion are also now available. CLICK HERE for your options.

 

 Any questions or concerns about the 2007 Centennial Celebrations should be posted in THIS FORUM on the Alumni Bulletin Board. Please know that most of your concerns ARE being addressed by the hard-working volunteers behind the scenes and we promise to keep you updated here as soon as they are dealt with. We ask for, and appreciate your patience! As we get closer to the Reunion date if you would like to volunteer your time, we’d appreciate that even more! 

 

For the upcoming Centennial Reunion celebrations, I am putting together a slide show of Mac High pictures for the last 100 years. 

If you have any photos (old or otherwise) you are willing to share with other Mac High alumni, please contact me at steve.olive@e-reporting.ca.

If you have digital photos, terrific. If you only have hard copy pics, two choices:

  1. Send them to me. I will scan them and return them to you. Please send me an e-mail and I will give you my postal address.
  2. Scan them yourself (minimum 300 dpi) and send them via e-mail to steve.olive@e-reporting.ca.

Thanks very much!
Steve Olive
