Schedule of Events
Friday: Opportunity for single-class or multi-year small groups to get together and reconnect. There are several events going on Friday evening, primarily among classes from the late 60's to mid-80's. These have been organized by individual class reps.
Parking at Meridian High School, 121 Mustang Alley, Falls Church, VA 22043:
To park at the new high school, please turn right off of Leesburg Pike/Route 7 onto Mustang Alley, and then make an immediate right into the parking lot. You may also turn onto Mustang Alley from Haycock Road and come around that way.
Saturday Day: 9:30am: Gather for School Bus Tour of Falls Church City (10am departure). Get a look at how neighborhoods and Broad Street have changed (or stayed the same). The Bus Tour of Fall Church City is FULL. Our apologies.
11:30am: Welcome ceremony in main lobby on Legacy Grove (weather permitting). Welcoming speakers include our principal, superintendent, school board member, and mayor!
12 Noon: Open house and student-led tours of the new high school building. See the state-of-the-art five-story marvel, as well as the original Mustang mosaic in the lobby.
Saturday Evening: At 6:00pm, we will be ready for check-in at Clare and Don's. We are at capacity for this event and tickets will not be available at the door.
Parking: Please park at the Kaiser Permanente parking lot located at 144 Park Avenue. This lot is free on weekends. You can then make a 2-4 minute walk to Clare and Don's by walking up Park Avenue toward the State Theater. The restaurant will then be across Washington Street a little to the right. Please be aware there is no parking in the State Theater lot, nor on Park Place, nor the garage of the new development (it is not open yet).
Event: Please note the event will be outside in the back of the restaurant under a large canopy. We will have a check-in table in the rear; please come to the table to give your name and we will check against the list of tickets purchased and provide a nametag and a drink ticket.
There will be a band playing your favorite covers from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Sunday Day: 11am: Family Picnic at Cherry Hill Park Pavilion. End the weekend well with fresh air and fun in the heart of Falls Church. Bring-your-own food and drink. We have reserved an ice cream cart with ice cream novelties for sale.
