The Kent-Meridian High School Class of 1967, as part of its 50-year reunion celebration, has scheduled a photo shoot of all classmates who attended Panther Lake Elementary School from 1954-55 to 1960-61 on the front steps of the old building at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, July 22.

The building is located at the corner of Southeast 208th and 104th street (Benson Highway) in the Panther Lake area of Kent.

The original school building was recently sold to a private company and will most likely be demolished in the near future.

The K-M Class of 1967 Reunion Committee has planned a dinner event at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 22 in the Green River College Student Union Building, 12401 SE 320th St., Auburn. Cost is $75. All classmates and guests are welcome, but need to register by emailing their request to kmclassof67@q.com.

Other events include a golf tournament on Friday, July 21, a Welcome Luncheon on Friday, a tour of the K-M campus on Saturday, a Friday night classmates gathering and a farewell breakfast on Sunday morning, July 23.
