On Saturday, October 23, 2010, Iona Prep held its Homecoming and Family Day during the varsity football game against Xaverian. Alumni and friends of the Prep gathered at the Verni Center for a fun filled day that included the annual homecoming barbeque and football game. Many classmates returned with their families to reminisce with old friends and catch-up on current happenings. Iona Prep defeated Xaverian 49-13. The next home football game is Saturday October 30 at 1:30 PM against undefeated St. Anthony’s. The game will be broadcast by MSG Varsity.
On Saturday, October 23, 2010, Iona Prep hosted its 2010 Alumni Reunions. The reunions were for alums who graduated in years that end with “0” or “5” (1960, ’65, ’70, ’75, ’80, ’85, ’90, ’95, ’00, ’05). Almost 100 alumni attended the terrific event. The day included morning Mass at Iona Prep’s Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel for the Golden Gaels, the homecoming barbeque reception at the Verni Center, the varsity football game vs. Xaverian and cocktails and dinner in the evening. Alums spent the day talking about the “good ole days” and catching up with classmates. This year’s reunion also marked the 50th Anniversary of the Class of 1960. Thank you to all the alums who attended!
