To the editor:

On Saturday, June 10, 95 alumni and family members of Van Buren High School and Van Buren Elementary attended their school reunion at Van Buren Elementary School. This was the largest group of attendees in the reunion’s history! Those traveling the farthest were from Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Maine.
