Lafayette’s 75th Anniversary will be held this Friday and Saturday. Hundreds of former alumni are expected to attend. Picadome Neighbors who are not alumni are also invited. Please help us welcome these guests into our neighborhood by being understanding that there is limited parking for such a large event. Many guests will have to park along our neighborhood streets.
Lafayette High School
Beginning at 5 pm on Friday, former faculty, staff and alumni will gather in the library to reconnect. There will be tours available. There will be a sock hop in the gym where the band will be an alumni band. On Saturday, 10:30 am, alumni will meet with their respective classes. At 1 pm, all are invited to attend performances by Lafayette’s band and orchestra. The master of ceremonies will be Tom Hammond (class of 1962), who is the voice of the Kentucky Derby and a longtime sportscaster for NBC. Former Governors John Y Brown Jr. (Class of 52) and Ernie Fletcher (class of 1969) will speak.
On March 21, we successfully planted 75 trees on the grounds of Lafayette High School. However, after the planting, we discovered that 23 of the trees had been planted too deeply. According to Dave Leonard, certified arborist and volunteer consultant on this project, trees will die if planted too deeply. We had to devise a plan to lift the trees.
Thanks to 10 determined volunteers working over Saturday and Sunday, all 23 trees that needed to be raised up in their beds, now have been! All that will be needed in the next few weeks is mulching with the wood chips that Dave Leonard, has generously offered to donate and deliver. When the wood chips are delivered, we will be adding mulch to each of the 75 trees. Thank you to all who gave time this weekend for this great project!
