McKey School will hold 14th Reunion Oct. 4
The McKey School and Community 14th Reunion will be held Oct. 4 at the Old McKey School and Community Building, west of Sallisaw.
Registration starts at 9:30 a.m.
The morning activities will be visiting between former students, families and friends, touring McKey School Museum and historical pictures of former school and past reunions, Jackie Snow Pop, reunion committee member, said.
A covered dish luncheon will be served at 12:15 p.m. and a group picture will be taken at 1 p.m., followed by a short program in the schoolhouse from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
"The wheels of McKey history memories have been turning again in 2008. Several students have gathered past years of McKey Reunion video tapes and have composed them into one tape," Snow Pop said.
"These tapes include many of our former parents, friends, and scenes of McKey School and Community. Some of the reunions years covered are 1990, 1993, 1998, 2000, and 2002," Snow Pop said.
"This McKey video tape is part of McKey's history and would compliment your McKey history books in your home," Snow Pop said.
The profits of the McKey Reunion video will be used on restoration of the floors in the McKey School Room Museum, Snow Pop said.
"Our McKey School Room photo albums library continues to grow. If you have family pictures, old or new, and you wish to share them with the McKey community, bring or send us copies," Snow Pop said. "When we fill a poster board it is laminated and made permanent."
Snow Pop said, several students of the former school and Pastor Merle Rowe of First Baptist Church of McKey have planted pine trees, made several flower gardens, and erected a new sign, "Welcome to McKey, Oklahoma, est. 1887."
