Reunion of former Blackwell Junior High School
6/2/2017, 11:33 p.m.
Alumni of Blackwell Junior High School in Richmond will take a trip down memory lane this weekend at a gala multiyear reunion.
At least 260 people, including eight retired teachers from the 1960s, are expected to spend time catching up while dining and dancing at the event at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 3, at a hotel in Short Pump in Henrico County. Organizers said it is sold out.
The school later became an elementary school.
Renee Patterson Stancil and Darnell Crewe Wise Lightbourn coordinated the event, which Ms. Lightbourn said would feature a DJ, an interpretive dancer, a silent auction and raffle.
Ms. Lightbourn said proceeds after expenses are to be presented to the current Blackwell school to support curriculum needs.
Details: Ms. Lightbourn, (703) 786-0786.
