Not to be outdone by the Fourth of July, Mother Nature provided Sisters with an incredible fireworks
show over several days last week. Clear, warm summer weather is arriving this week.

Sisters High School Class
of 1999 will be celebrating
their 20th reunion in July.
The reunion will take place in
Sisters at the Sisters Saloon,
around town, and in the
Village Green park.
Crista Hagan, a graduate
of the class, has been working
closely with their class presi-
dent, Tara Schafer, who is
putting on the reunion. Hagan
spoke with The Nugget on the
importance of the reunion and
what it means to her: <Our
class really raised each other,
we were more like brothers
and sisters and cousins, and in
my journey of adult self-dis-
covery I am reminded of my
personality traits in middle
school and high school and
how beneficial of an experi-
ence it was.=
The class was only 88 stu-
dents strong, and some of the
classmates had been going
to school together since pre-
school. Hagan joined the
class in sixth grade and went
through all the way to her
senior year. The class of 999
was the last class that attended
Sisters High School when it
was in the building that is now
the middle school. As part of
the reunion, the attendees will
be touring the middle school
and high school buildings.
For Hagan, living in
Vancouver, Washington, the
reunion is important to her to
reconnect with her classmates
in their adult life.
<People putting this on
and are working together
are people that might9ve not
necessarily hung out [at]
high school and it is neat
to see everyone as adults
and working together,= she
said. <Working on this has
promoted some healing for
myself in my journey of self-
discovery this year, I have
had vivid dreams about doing
something like this reunion.=

The Class of 1999 will reunite in Sisters July 20-21.
Hagan and her class-
mates are spread out all over
the country and the world.
Some of her classmates have
stuck around Central Oregon
including Tara Schafer,
whereas one of her friends is
abroad in eastern Asia work-
ing in medicine 4 but is still
helping contribute to putting
it on.
The reunion is set for July
20-21. The team wanted to
turn it into a big gathering,
so anyone who has gradu-
ated from or worked in Sisters
High School is welcome. The
first night features a gather-
ing at the Sisters Saloon, and
the second day will be a tour
of the school buildings and
an informal family picnic at
Village Green. The event can
be found on Eventbrite and
Facebook listed as <Sisters
High School 20th Reunion.=
RSVPs are welcomed.
Hagan said this of the
importance of attending the
high school reunion: <If you
are a graduate of Sisters High
School, you are a member
of a small, unique commu-
nity. Your membership in
this community has probably
shaped your life more than
you probably realize. You
never know what life-chang-
ing magic you may encounter
when you spend time in the
company of others [and] share
this special membership and
life experience!=
