President’s Elementary · Arlington, WA · 1996
Mr. Christine · Grade 5 · 1996–97
Twenty-two of us. One list.
This reunion is for the students in Mr. Christine’s fifth grade at President’s Elementary, 1996–97. If you’re in this photo your name is already on the roster. Anyone else can ask — and the class decides.
No account, no password. Your name, one old photo, and a code only you hold.

Front row through row four — you know who you are.
The roster
22
students in Mr. Christine’s fifth grade, 1996–97. 0 have signed in so far.
Not everyone from that year is invited.
We’re not opening this to the whole 1996 class at President’s. This is one classroom’s reunion — and the people who were in it decide who else comes in.
- Only the original classmates vote, one ballot each.
- Anyone else needs three ballots and more yes than no.
- Guests come with a classmate — no vote, no membership.
- Yearbook and class photos are for members only.
Who gets in, and how
The list is closed on purpose. Only the people in that fifth-grade classroom hold a ballot.
Find your name
Type your first and last name. If it matches the roster printed under the class photo, you're verified as one of the original twenty-two.
Originals are in
You don't wait for a vote. Add a photo of yourself from back then and you get a personal class code — that's your way into the yearbook and the photos.
Everyone else gets a vote
Friends, teachers and students from other classes can ask, or be nominated by a classmate. Admission takes three ballots and more yes than no.
The ritual
Silent Ball.
Every indoor recess, out came the ball and up we went onto the desks. You could stand, catch and throw. You could not talk, laugh, drop it, or put a foot on the floor. One squeak of a chair and you were out. The game ran until exactly one person was left standing.
- 01
Everyone stands on their desk.
- 02
The ball gets thrown around the room.
- 03
Drop it, step down, or make a single sound and you're out.
- 04
Last one still standing on a desk wins.
Whether it comes back at the reunion is a class decision, not ours to announce. Members vote on the schedule — if Silent Ball gets the votes, we’re pushing the desks back. Members vote here.
The organizer
Ted G. built this, and Ted G. is running the reunion.
One man from the roster, a laptop and a shoebox of old photos. Everything you see here — the roster check, the ballots, the yearbook — was built and is kept up by him, on his own time, for this class.
And he could use help.
A reunion is a lot of small jobs. Any one of these would take a weight off — no experience required, just being from this class.
- Tracking down the classmates we still can't find
- The room, the date and who's driving
- Food, drinks and the clean-up after
- Photographs, printing and the yearbook
Already in? The members page has this list as a board — take one and the class sees who’s on what.
Bring a photo. Bring the memory.
We’re putting the class back in one room.
Date and place are still being worked out. Classmates hear first — and help pick.

Want one of these built for your class?
This whole site was built by hand for one fifth-grade class. If your class is trying to find everybody, settle who’s coming and collect the old photos, it can look and work like this — your names, your school, your reunion.
- A roster check, so only your real classmates get in
- A yearbook that only lists people who opt in
- Class photos, kept to members and names blurred
- A story wall for the memories nobody wrote down
- Events with RSVPs, and one official reunion
Tell me about your class and I’ll come back with what it would take.
