As part of our commitment to excellence in preparing our students for the future, Wayne Central now mandates each student to complete a 40 hour unpaid, career focused internship. This experience allows the students to become directly involved in the workplace setting, apply classroom skills in real world situations and gain a better idea of the type of career they may or may not want to pursue.

In order for this program to be successful we need your help! We are specifically looking for you as alumni, community members and professionals to become mentors for our students. This is your chance to give back to the community, the school and reacquaint yourself with the Wayne Central High School.

As a mentor for the Internship Program you would be required to:

• Mentor your student at your workplace
• Jointly establish goals and objectives for the internship
• Share your expertise
• Provide a safe working environment
• Define areas of confidentiality with the intern
• Complete an evaluation of the intern
• Keep in contact with the school’s Internship Coordinators

For more information please browse our website at :

If you are interested in becoming a mentor please contact one of the Internship Coordinators; either Sarah Francis at (315) 524-1185 or sfrancis@wayne.k12.ny.us or Scott Bradley at (315) 524-1183 or sbradley@wayne.k12.ny.us.

Just a couple items about the website:

• The problem with the symbol showing up everywhere or else not at all has been fixed. New listings in the last two weeks or so have the new symbol and all future new listings will and then be displayed for 3 weeks.
• Along with that improvement, updated listings will not be lumped together with new ones. Presently updated listings from today on will have a symbol displayed for 3 weeks. I’m not listing these together anywhere presently, but may later.
• A number of users have taken advantage of the Upload Photo feature, and from what I can tell, it appears to be working OK. Send me a message if you experience any difficulties with this feature.
• Working on a new Message Board feature which I hope to have ready soon. Rather than try to integrate an existing system, which can have some drawbacks, this one will be a rather simple roll-our-own type. Though the message baords never really attracted much use, I thought that one more attempt would be worth it.

Here is a link to Photos from the Class of 1968 40th Reunion. It was held at the High School cafeteria and it includes some photos taken during a tour inside of the school.

Take a look at the pictures and you may notice Mr. Powell, Mr. Cataldo, and Mr. Taber.

Thanks to Fred Miller for the photos (and the lunch!!).

/reunions.php

The Class of 1979 has set a date for their 30th Reunion. The date will be November 28, 2009. More information to follow. Until then, anyone who wants more information can email Debbie Lynch at dreynol1@rochester.rr.com or contact Theresa Congelosi at theresacongelosi@yahoo.com.

Here is a PDF of the 1978 Echo. Again, click on the color one for higher quality, slower download time, or the black and white one for lower quality but faster download time.

OK, this would have been cooler if it was done a long time ago when most people registered, but better late than never. When you register, or update your listing, there is a place to enter you birthday. Just the month and day (no, not the year. Most of us are trying to forget that at this point).

This is really just for fun. Anyone who has a birthday on any given day will be listed on the main Alumni Directory page. So if someone you know is having a birthday you could send them a birthday greeting. Or maybe someone you haven’t heard from in a while will send you one. But other than people I know pretty closely and anyone who registers from this week on, no one else has a birthday saved right now.

So if you have a password, go ahead and login and add your birthday. If you don’t have a password, try the FAQ page.

Once your birthday is on record, you won’t see the option to set it again which shouldn’t be a problem. If you were born on Feb. 29, all bets are off.

If you decide that you want to delete a photo you have uploaded, that can now be accomplished. You must be logged in, then access your photos in your listing like you would normally to view them. It is pretty straightforward from there. I will update the FAQ section to hopefully be more informative on how to accomplish some of the tasks dealing with passwords, logging in, uploading photos, etc.

/new_photos.php

Since the Photo Upload feature was added a few weeks back, several people have taken advantage of the feature. As it was, you could only get to the photos by browsing the Alumni Directory and finding a listing with the camera icon.

That isn’t too convenient for finding out if there are any new photos, so a couple of ways to see recent Alumni Photos has been implemented.

1. To see all photos uploaded in the recent past (presently set to one month), click on the Recent Photo Uploads link in the site menu or –
2. To see who has uploaded photos recently, go to the Alumni Directory Main page, scroll down to the Recent Photo Additions area, and either click on the name of an alumni or click on See All Photos from Last Month

Hopefully this will make this feature a little more user friendly and encourage more alumni to upload some photos!
