61st Reunion

Noon-2pm
Richardson Heights Elementary School

Richardson, Texas 75080
Anyone who attended Richardson Heights Elementary School at any time from September 1957 through May 1963 is invited to relive those memories with their fellow classmates at this once-in-a-lifetime event.
This Richardson Heights Elementary Class of 1963 61st Reunion is solely for those who actually attended RHE at any time during 1st through 6th grades. We want to re-create as much as possible the experience of being young and specifically at RHE in the late 50s and early 60s. For that reason, although we would love to see them at other Reunion Weekend activities, please leave your siblings, spouses, children, and pets (service animals welcome) at home. If you need assistance of any kind, we are happy to provide that for you — just let us know in advance.
Each of our known classmates will receive a personal invitation by phone to attend. At that time, we’ll take your RSVP. If you have not yet received a phone call and want to RSVP, you can do so by contacting Tommy Thomas.
Bring your memories of those rolling televisions that showed NASA rocket launches, the tetherball pole, and nickel Dreamsicles and dime Drumsticks that barely made it to the playground after lunch before melting all over our hands.
Also bring all memorabilia that you have — for example, class photos, RHS football ribbons, and report cards — to share with your classmates. Here are some of the class photos available now.
If you attend the Ceremony of Remembrance at the RHS Class of 1969 55th Reunion, don’t stop to eat lunch before you come to RHE. Come directly to RHE. At noon we’ll have your lunch ready for you in the RHE cafeteria.
When you arrive at RHE, park in the circular driveway on Floyd Road or across Floyd Road on Lockwood Drive. Then make your way to the RHE front door by the flagpole in the center of the school. Someone will meet you and direct you to the cafeteria where your box lunch will be waiting. We’ll eat lunch first (feel free to start sharing and speaking with your classmates while you eat) before beginning the scheduled activities at 12:30pm. A small group of your classmates will then facilitate your RHE reunion experience.
Weather permitting, we will go outside and explore the playground. That experience alone is assured to jar loose some memories from our days at Richardson Heights Elementary.
