We started the alumni foundation in 1996 and are dedicated to helping the current students of Pasteur Elementary School. It is located on Stoepel and Pembroke in northwest Detroit. We believe we are the only alumni association of an elementary school in Detroit.
Our database has over 800 alumni who attended the school since 1939 – most of whom attended in the 50’s and60’s. We have members who live all over the U.S., Canada, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. We are diverse in many ways, but all have a special feeling for our old school, friends, teachers, and neighborhood.
We publish an annual newsletter and a member directory with contact information. The directory is sent only to members. Many old friends have been re-connected through our Foundation.
We read in the school each week and give books to students and their classrooms. We give dictionaries to all graduates and some scholarships for college. Please check out the whole website to view our many accomplishments, letters from students, news, interesting stories, photos, facts and our newsletter. We will add more soon!
To be ecologically sound we will send the hard copy of the newsletter only to alumni who do not have computers. This will save money, paper and time. Please help by registering on our website and check it each month for news. We have also started to send current news more often. If you would like the e-news please email us at feldman248@comcast.net. If you are not currently a member we hope you join to help us continue our work at the school. We can make a difference in the lives of these children.
JOURNAL JOURNEY IS COMING IN THE FALL!
The alumni foundation has purchased 50 composition books for the 5th graders.
They will write a page about themselves, then we will mail it to alumni who will then write a page about where they live and a Pasteur memory. They will then send it to another alum and so on. . . Each alumni will also send a picture postcard of where they live back to the child at Pasteur. The book will go back to the school in April. Great geography and history project! If you receive a book you will be able to read the other memories of friends. Please email us to participate in this project! feldman248@comcast.net
