Classmates,
As of August 5th, the countdown is 66 days to our Newton High School 60th Class Reunion at Brae Burn Country Club! You can register now.
As momentum has built for the reunion, members of other classes are once again left wondering how the Class of 66 continues to set the standard for…well, classy events. “They’re back at it,” one younger Tiger grumbled. “Clearly nothing but an excuse to have a good time.”
Another said enviously, ‘We’ve all heard about their reunions. They hang out. They reconnect. They run into someone they sat next to in fourth grade. They take a few group photos and everyone feels good about it.”
The current list of registered 52 classmates may be found at www.nhs66.org/whos-registered . Based on earlier surveys, we expect at least another 65 plus classmates to register and attend. Feel free to reach out to friends you wish to see at the reunion and encourage them to register for the party and other planned activities.
If you plan to attend the reunion party, meet-up lunch, welcome reception, and/or farewell breakfast, please register in the next week or two. Your early registration will help the committee to finalize preparations for reunion events scheduled for October 9-11, 2026.
If you plan a mail-in registration after August 31, please also send an email to TheNHS66Reunion@gmail.com with a subject of MAILED IT. We are requesting this additional step because the USPS mail is imperfect and we may have to follow up with you to confirm your registration and preferences in order to meet headcount deadlines with our reunion venues.
We have already received several brief autobiographical blurbs for our electronic version of Who’s Who in the class of 1966. Whether or not you attend the reunion, please click here to submit your biographical note.
We look forward to seeing you at another fun and memorable reunion.
You can register for the following events either online in the store or via mail-in
1. Welcome Reception: We are finalizing details for this kickoff event at the Sheraton Boston Needham Hotel on Friday, October 9, from 5:00-8:00 PM. There will be a cash bar, and the committee expects to offer appetizers and one free drink. We hope to receive additional donations to offset the Sheraton function room rental, assorted fees, and food costs.
2. Saturday, October 10 daytime meet up opportunities:
• Tour the new Newton North High School for about 60–90-minutes beginning around 10:00 AM.
• Self pay lunch for classmates and their guests at Cabot’s Ice Cream & Restaurant in Newtonville from 12:00-2:00 PM.
3. NHS66 60th Reunion Party: We will celebrate together on Saturday, October 10, from 5:00-10:00 PM at Brae Burn Country Club, 326 Fuller Street in West Newton.
4. Farewell Brunch: We hope many of you plan to visit one last time before the weekend ends on Sunday, October 11, from 9:30-11:30 AM at the Sheraton Boston Needham Hotel. Attendees will pay Sheraton’s $24.99 (before tax and tip) buffet fee individually.
Continue to check our class website and Facebook page for the latest reunion details, including information about reservations at suggested hotels.
When registering, please indicate your interest in each event so we can give estimated head counts to the hotel, high school, restaurant, and country club. Click here to print the Mail In Registration Form. If you prefer to register online and pay by credit card, please note the price will be slightly higher to cover fees.
We are looking forward to another fun and memorable gathering for our NHS class of 1966!
