Over 220 guests, including alumni from the classes of 1958 to 2012, current and past parents, faculty, staff and friends gathered together for a festive night of German food, beer and entertainment, including the Polka Brothers’ special rendition of the Prep’s Fight Song and Alma Mater. Even the Ram, dressed in lederhosen, made an appearance which you can see in our photo gallery. We encourage you to come back to the Prep - for an event, a game, a Mass or a visit to reconnect and be reminded of why your years here and the friendships you made – whether as a student, alumnus or parent - were and continue to be important to you today. Our 175th Anniversary Year provides opportunities to bring the Fordham Prep community together - united in loyalty and appreciation for each other and the Prep. We ask you to join us next month and throughout the year at these events commemorating the Prep's 175th Anniversary. In the meantime, our German custom-designed, limited edition Fordham Prep 175th Anniversary stein is still available -- a must have for any Prep supporter!  Please consider making a gift to the 175th Anniversary Annual Fund. We urge all alumni, parents and friends of the Prep to participate during our anniversary year and support Jesuit education. A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR OUR YOUNG ALUMNI ABOUT THE TURKEY BOWL CHALLENGE. Help us beat Xavier twice this year at the Turkey Bowl!
