30 million and One reunion class

Now that sets a standard. Wonder what the next class is going to do? College reunions seem to have that tradition of donating to their alma mater. But without a solid high school education college would not have been possible. There are very few state institutions that are not publically support. Tax dollars go into all the state universities and building and maintainence costs are paid by tax dollars. That is true of the public high school also. However, very few think anything about donating money to the University of Minnesota. We need to rethink the mind set. Without a strong foundation many are not going to make it to college. Without a strong high school education many are not going to have the competitive edge necessary to compete on the global market. Your high school needs your continuing financial support. It does not have to be your 50th reunion to think of how to support your high school. Just consider donating one dollar for every year since your graduation. Think of the amount that would be if every one of your fellow graduates did that. Just consider for a moment what difference that could make in the lives of current students and the future of our state. It takes about $638. Each year to support a support student. Those would be basic minimums of consumables and curricular materials. In addition to that annual cost are textbooks, electronic equipment, classroom furniture and annual replacement items. Your financial support would go a long way in providing a high quality education for all students.
