Jefferson Ex-Student Association Newsletter

 Another BIG BASH underway!!

 The Association will hold  Jefferson’s 60 at the   This big event is scheduled for Saturday, November 21, 2009, from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.  All classes, exes, and friends are INVITED…

 Class Banquets El Paso Convention Center:

All classes, exes and friends are invited to hold reunion

banquets, but because of the event year 2009, preference

for banquet facilities will be given to the 9er classes

(1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, and 1999) as well as the first

graduating class of 1950. Other classes can join these

9er banquets if they so wish. Banquet facilities will provide

the podium and microphone and will be available

from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the day of the 60

(11/21/09). There is a minimum 50 guest guarantee for

each banquet facility. Individual classes can plan/add

other events as they choose for their own reunion.

Classes that want to reserve a banquet facility need to do

so by January 27, 2009 (the sooner the better). We will

need name of class contact(s), and number of tables required.

All reserved tables need to be paid within 30 days

or they will be released. The El Paso Convention Center

banquet facility offers three menus to pick from. If a 9er

class does not participate and another class year does,

you are more than welcome to join them. Again, there are

several banquet facilities available. 9er classes please

contact Leo Gonzales at 584-2542 to make your banquet

facility reservations.

Table Ticket Sales

Table tickets are available for sale locally. Reserve early

for the best table location.    

Jefferson’s High 60th Diamond Anniversary

 Hello Jefferson Silver Foxes!

 It has been awhile since the last newsletter was issued,

but the Jefferson Alumni Association continues to be active

in many ways. It has been approximately three years

since the membership elected me as the President and,

rest assured, we have been doing things in a much bigger

way. Since being elected, the Association has awarded

approximately $40,000 in scholarships to both Jefferson

and Silva Magnet graduates. In addition, the Association

has contributed over $10,000 to student-related activities.

I would be remiss if I did not point out the fact that none of

this would have been possible if not for the generous contributions

from various alumni and the hard work of Association

members. We have some very active committees

as part of the Association and one in particular, the Special

Event committee, has done a tremendous job in coordinating

dinner/dance events over the last two years with great

success. We are currently looking at having a spring

event in the form of a “Sock Hop” which will be scheduled

for Valentine’s Day and will be held at the Jefferson High

School cafeteria. Please make every effort to join us.

As you read on, the main purpose of this newsletter is to

advertise Jefferson High School’s 60

In this case, we have members of the Moye’s Boys that

are coordinating this event. We ask that you please support

this event as the proceeds will be used to make personal

contributions to Jefferson staff and students that

have a special need. I will now close by asking you to also

read the article regarding membership in the Association.

I realize that many of you have other priorities, but all we

are asking for is a couple of hours a month and to join us

in the various events that are sponsored during the year.

See you at the 60

 For some of you that don’t know who are the

 It is a group of Jeff Exes from the ‘50s, 60s, 70s, and some 80s that have been together for over 10 years meeting every

Thursday and Saturday for breakfast at the Amigo Restaurant. Mr. Moye for many years during this time preferred many

breakfast meetings with the boys than anything else. The title

principal, school board president and mainly a great mentor and great friend to many Jefferson ex-students, even parents,

family members, and anybody associated with Jefferson. Another group the “

relationship to Mr. Moye.

These groups were very instrumental in helping name the Jefferson High School gym H.R. Moye, and also the

H.R. Moye Elementary school in northeast El Paso.

So it is with great pleasure that these groups along with the Jefferson Ex-Student Association have come together to

celebrate Jefferson 60

Jeff Exes Web Page Greetings

Fellow

Jeffersonians

W

last visited your alma mater, Thomas Jefferson High

School. A lot of things have changed, but certainly not our

warm feelings for the high school that earned our hearts.

We, the Jefferson Ex-Students Association, are inviting

you to visit again, this time as an alumnus interested in

advocating and supporting the academic efforts of the

new generations of Jefferson High School students.

We meet on a monthly basis to discuss ways to best

assist the present Jefferson students. This support takes

on various forms, but the major aspect of the Ex-Students

Association is to raise funds for scholarships for worthy

students of our old school. We also accept requests from

other student organizations in the school that need some

sort of financial assistance and we do our best to help in

that area.

We meet the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm

at the Student Activities Room at Jefferson High School.

You and your spouse may both join us; however, only the

ex-student has voting privileges. The Association dues

are minimal; only $1.00 per member per year. Join us and

bring your talents with you. Help us help the younger

generations of Jefferson High School students.

We hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Armida H. Hernandez
