It’s Friday. It’s Alumni Weekend. So, we’ll start 100 Days in Kane, PA with the PARTY CHEER!????????????
Ingrid Anderson Cartwright shares how she remembers Fridays with Bloomy:
“Friday wouldn’t be Friday at the Kane Area High School, in Room 202, without Bloomy’s PARTY Cheer!
As a senior I had the privilege of being in Mr. Bloomquist’s room for last period. Every Friday + at school assemblies, he would do it.
Introduction to 100 Days of Kane, PA
This is Alumni Weekend – the unofficial holiday of Kane, PA. Our town has been getting ready and you can feel the anticipation when you walk outside. The welcome banner hangs with pride over Fraley Street. It’s like having your mom and dad standing with outstretched arms at the front door waiting to say “Welcome home!”
Our town will be bustling with alumni and soon to be alumni. Our friends and loved ones will be traveling from all over the country to spend a weekend reminiscing and making new memories with us here.
Our sense of pride in our community is like no other place I’ve lived. When something happens to one person it feels like it happens to us all, doesn’t it? We are connected to each other through our stories.
