1. The Personal Touch
*Dear Marcus Thompson,
Subject: Your Legacy Lives On – Come Home to Springfield High
The Class of 2000 left an indelible mark on Springfield High School. As one of our standout graduates who started the first student-run newspaper, your influence still resonates through our halls today. The current journalism students often refer to those early editions you created, drawing inspiration from your innovative approach to campus reporting.
That’s why this year’s homecoming celebration would feel incomplete without your presence. On Saturday, October 15, 2025, we’re hosting a special reunion that brings together generations of Springfield Eagles. The student newspaper team has prepared a wonderful exhibit showcasing 25 years of campus journalism, starting with your groundbreaking work.
The evening begins at 6 PM with a welcome reception in the newly renovated Media Center, where you’ll find familiar faces and perhaps meet some of the young journalists following in your footsteps. At 7 PM, we’ll move to the Grand Hall for dinner and a program that celebrates our school’s rich tradition of student leadership and innovation.
As a tribute to your contributions, we would be honored if you would share a few words about your experiences starting the newspaper and how it shaped your path after graduation. Your story continues to motivate our current students, showing them how their initiatives today can create lasting change.
Please RSVP by September 15 using the enclosed card or through our alumni portal at www.springfieldhigh.edu/alumni. Should you need accommodation recommendations or have any questions, contact Sarah Martinez, our Alumni Relations Coordinator, at 555-0123 or sarah.m@springfieldhigh.edu.
