Join the Class of 1977 at Franklin's Homecoming Game on Saturday, October 13, 2017...

UPDATE:  The principal is bringing light snacks for us in the Parent Center which is next door to Franklin's outside cafeteria tables. 

Thanks to everyone who attended Franklin's Class of 1977 Reunion.  We have been invited to participate in Franklin's Homecoming Game "parade" around the track before the football game on Friday, October 13, 2017.  Franklin will also have a section reserved for us during the game.

If you would like to be a part of the parade, you will need to be at Franklin's outside cafeteria tables by 5:00.  You may purchase the $10 tickets for the football game beginning at 4:00.

Sorry, but the $1,500 to rent a bus was beyond our budget, so we will be walking around the track like the other groups during the pregame Franklin Homecoming ceremony. 

Please fill out the form below so that we will know how many people to expect.  Feel free to email me at vleon999@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Hope to see you on Friday for the Class of 1977's Reunion #2,
Vicky Nishinaka-Leon

Looking for a Reunion Coordinator? Call Elizabeth Groves!

The Class of 1977's 40th Reunion could not have been planned within six months if it had not been for Elizabeth Groves.  Elizabeth is the daughter of the Class of 1977 alums, Candi Garcia Maldonado and Randy Groves. 

Elizabeth created the Class of 1977 website at http://www.franklinclassof1977.myevent.com/ ...

Elizabeth then used the Franklin yearbook to create the contact list for the website...

The Reunion Committee set up a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/losangelesca2017reunion/...

With the power of social media AND YOU...100 members of Franklin's Class of 1977 were able to find out about the 40th Reunion and join us at the Mijares Mexican Restaurant on October 7, 2017 and had a GREAT TIME...

Elizabeth paid attention to the big and little details... 

She made the Panther Class of 1977 sign that greeted the guests and will now find a home at the Franklin Museum...

Elizabeth made the name tags that had the person's photo from our senior yearbook...

Elizabeth made the panther centerpieces...

the opportunity drawing containers...

and the thank you board which listed the names of the people who donated the opportunity drawing prizes...

Elizabeth helped us to remember our Panther Angels who are no longer with us...

If you are having a high school reunion, baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday party and you would like everything planned for you, contact Elizabeth Groves at 323-388-6924 or email her at groverg311@gmail.com.
