The McLoud Alumni Association was saddened to have to cancel our 44th annual reunion that was scheduled for June 27, 2020. A limited number of letters were sent out, but we would like to thank all that paid their due and gave donations. These donations will allow us to continue to support our teachers and students at McLoud Public Schools.

The Alumni did not want to miss out on adding to our Redskin Remember Honor Roll. This program was established in 2004 to show appreciation to past teachers or school personnel for their dedication to enriching young people’s lives. The honorees for 2020 were; Joe Nolen, for his ten years of service on the Board of Education, Pamela Griffin, for teaching and coaching at McLoud two different times, and Jessie Palmer a McLoud school bus driver. Their names will be added to the plaque that sits in the trophy case at the J.E. Walker Field House.

Pamela Griffin was a 1970 McLoud graduate and All-State basketball player. She graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1975 and started teaching at McLoud. Several of her classmates and alumni members presented her the Redskin Remember plaque recently for her contributions.

The 1970 or 50 year class did not miss out on their memory books. The books have been distributed to all classmates that purchased one. These books are full of memories from their twelve years at McLoud. They may also include bios from classmates they had along the way but graduated from other schools. Copies of these books are given the McLoud Historical Society each year.

In order to continue the annual reunion the Alumni Committee is looking for a new President. This reunion has fallen on the 50 year class for the past number of years, so we are hoping someone from the 1971 class will come forward or anyone that is interested in serving. The more people we can get on the committee the less anyone has to do. We are just hoping we will be able to have a 45th reunion in 2021.

If you are interested to serve on the alumni committee please leave a message for Kathy (Palmer) Harris at 405-830-7600 or email klharris_52@yahoo.com; or Judy (McKinley) Sell at 405-642-3072 or email js4816@swbell.net. We hope everyone has stayed safe from this pandemic.
