    Second Annual Crimsons Extravaganza

    The duPont Manual Alumni Associations Second Annual Crimsons Extravaganza was held on Saturday, September 12th.

    The Class of 1966 helped lead the way, partnering with the Alumni Association to celebrate its 60th reunion and bringing more than 36 classmates and guests. Alumni from the 1950s through the 2000s joined the fun.
    The Class of 2006 also partnered with the Association, using our ticketing and payment services for 120 reservations for its 20th reunion the following day.
    Principal Dr. Michael Newman stopped by to share some of the remarkable accomplishments of today’s Manual students and the national recognition the school continues to receive. Student leaders from the Classes of 2026–2029 led alumni on tours, and we had the opportunity to recognize several former Manual educators for their years of service.

    Our Donate to Win packages and America 250 quilt generated $1,875 for scholarships.
    It couldn’t have been done without our donors: John Kindig; Corky and Edie Grant; Rene and Friends; the Steve Wyatt Estate ’66; Rene Watson; Rebecca Jackson; Gaslight Diner; Dairy Kastle; Toyota of Louisville; Jersey Mike’s; Roosters; Bath & Body Works; Chicken Salad Chick; Bourbon & Burgers; Save A Lot; Danny Mac’s Pizza; Starbucks; and Home Depot.

    Thanks to committee chair Vicki Lete and the entire Extravaganza Committee for making the day happen.
