PCC 2008 Reunion

The West Bridgewater Canoe Club was packed Friday night as teens gathered for the PCC 2008 Reunion.
The reunion lasted from 8-11 p.m. and was packed with fun. Organized by PCC alumni, the goal of the party was to get PCC 2008 alumni together with the friends they met at PCC. The dance provided water, soda, snacks, and pizza along with awesome music. The music was provided by Seismic Sound Disc Jockeys.
The reunion was held for the alumni of PCC 2008, Summer of True Colors only. PCC (Project Contemporary Competitiveness) is a summer program for high achieving 8th and 9th graders. students stay in a dorm for six weeks and go home on the weekends. They take two classes of their choice while attending the program. Meals, nightly entertainment(core course), and social time (rec and toilet bowl). PCC is a program that both enriches a student's studies and character.
Anyone who attended the reunion will tell you that they had an amazing time.
The night started with crying, yelling, and high pitched squeals in the parking lot as people recognized old friends. There was a line out the door that had a least a fifteen minute wait.
Once inside you almost felt like you were at a Friday night PCC dance. Freshman Elena Crowley said this of the reunion, "I liked just seeing everyone again and how it made me feel like I was back at PCC again". The DJ kept everyone dancing as they caught up with friends and shared memories. He even played True Colors, PCC 2008's theme song, near the end of the dance. Although, he couldn't play every song from PCC. Elena commented, "He was pretty good, but I know my friend requested some more PCC songs and he didn't play them. that would've been nice".
Near the middle of the dance a group photo was taken for one special PCCer who could not attend. Her name was Léa Boehringer and was a foreign exchange student from France. She was loved by practically everyone at PCC and was greatly missed at the dance. Elena shared her thought on the group photo, "I thought it was a great idea. I met Léa in week 6 and she was a great person". The photo was sent to Léa and is now her Facebook profile photo.
It was a wonderful night filled with hugs, memories, and dancing.
