Co-Ex Grant Success
Our Co-Ex Grant Committee was able to meet many needs in our community this week. Athletic teams were granted almost $8,000 to four different teams and $3,500 to other activities. For more information on how to apply for funding, please visit southbendalumni.com/grants/.
Thank you to South Bend Washington High School’s Social Media club for recently taking our board members’ and E.D.’s headshots. Led by their teacher Bryan Ayala, they received a new lens through our Co-Ex Grants program, offered community service at the YMCA O’Brien Center and then took some amazing shots. We had a blast and can’t wait to see the finish product!

“The South Bend Alumni Association high school websites will be 7 years old in July 2022. The seven public schools have over 101,800 classmate names and senior photos posted, with more being added each day.
The goal is to provide means for all classmates to connect individually with private or public postings as well as collectively by announcing reunions and related activities including posting upcoming classmate birthdays as well as obituaries.
An important aspect of classmate profiles is the recording of high school memories and later life in college, travels, military service, employment, marriage and children etc. These stories are very important to your fellow classmates, your family and future generations. Give some thought to review your story and update it. Your grandchildren will be very happy to read them.
You can leave comments in the “In Memory” section for a classmate, however, they will not be reading it. You may want to send the message now while you are both “above ground”. It’s like sending a smile electronically. They may be waiting for a hug or your good news.
We depend on yearbooks donated to scan and store in our reference libraries. All South Bend Schools for all years. Also, hundreds of our school newspapers have been scanned and searchable. Please donate any that you may find.”
