Webber Elementary to Celebrate 100-Year Anniversary

Webber Elementary invites its alumni, students, parents and the community to join them for an once-in-a-lifetime celebration that honors the 100-year anniversary of the school. Three major centennial events are being planned. All events will be held at Webber which is located at 140 Webber School Road in Eastover.

* On Friday, May 18 everyone can enjoy an evening of style, great food and fond memories at the banquet and fashion show, which begins at 7 p.m. Banquet tickets cost $10.00 each.

* On Saturday, May 19 classmates and parents can reminisce at a picnic from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Bring your lounge chair and the family. Clowns and other amusements will be on hand to keep the kids entertained. Local businesses are sponsoring the picnic which is being provided at no cost to guests.

* The weekend celebration wraps up on Sunday, May 20 with a concert of gospel and contemporary music at 3 p.m.

Special guests have been invited to the celebration including descendants of the Webber family, which originally donated the land on which the school is built. Webber alumni and New England Patriots star player Richard Seymour Jr. also plan to attend.
