On Friday, the class of 1975 left the build site and made their way to the auditorium at Waverly High School. After spending the week constructing a Habitat for Humanity home as part of their reunion activities, they gathered to celebrate their accomplishments.
Brent Taylor, the President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Capital Region, praised the group's dedication to the project.
"Really amazing experience when we have groups out all the time and we love having group chat, but this particular group lived up to everything they promised they were gonna do. They raised the money they showed up and forced and just got an incredible amount of work done this week," Taylor said.
During the celebration, alumni joined with the current school band and choir to mark the occasion with music performances.
The family who will receive the home expressed their gratitude to the classmates for their efforts.
"It's been a blessing, it's amazing and I believe in miracles," they said.
The home is set to be completed in May, with the family moving in during June.
