Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) alumni from 1977 to 1982 gathered for a first reunion on July 17, 2011. It was an afternoon of old friends catching up and sharing memories that brought back laughs and even a few tears. Mrs. Mary Downing, a beloved, former teacher was able to come to the delight of those in attendance. Mrs. Downing taught at SFCS from 1977-1993.

Guests dined on a feast from Bucky's BBQ (Kelly and Laura Preston Shealy have three children currently attending SFCS.)
