I currently have four graduates working on their stories, but none have submitted them yet. So I’m taking this time to remind you all that we NEED your contributions. Contact your kids and grandkids!

Contact your friends and family members! Encourage them to tell their stories. I can even send you/them some ideas about what to include.

BUT… here is the thing you can all consider: these don’t have to be stories about young graduates! I know there are many readers out there in their 30s – 80s and beyond who graduated from Menomonie High School. I would love to have you write about your MHS memories and what twists and turns your lives have taken! Include a picture of you as a student. How fun and interesting this would be for Menomonie News Net readers. Don’t be surprised at whose stories might show up!

I hope to have a new story for you next week. But remember, there are no age limits on our alumni. We’re all in this together!
