All-Class Reunion photo planned

By Kathryn Star Heart Huggins

All students who have ever attended a Boundary County school in the last 100 years are encouraged to take part in a unique, once in a century, venture.

Max Richards, a local photographer, has been asked by the All Class Reunion Committee to take a group photograph of all former and current students of Boundary County School District 101.

Richards has scheduled the photograph to be taken in the park near the Boundary County Library at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 3.

Participants are asked to begin gathering near the library after registration to allow for time to get into a group formation.

Families are encouraged to stand together, as are members of the same class if they so choose.

Richards will climb the slope adjacent to the library and take the photograph from above.

Local business sponsors have donated money toward the project. Richards will use the funds to purchase a large banner that will read “All Class Reunion August 3, 2013.”

He will also have the photograph matted and framed with the donated funds.

After the photograph has been taken, it will be developed in an oversize two foot by three foot format to be hung in the Boundary County Museum for future generations.

Copies of the photograph are available for purchase from Richards. An 8 inch by 10 inch copy will cost $15 and a large two foot by three foot copy will cost $75.

“This school reunion has the potential to help residents of Boundary County to begin supporting each other and working together to bring prosperity to our county again,” said Richards.
