St. Patrick's Day Parade
Thank you to all who attended our 175th Anniversary
dinner dance at La Sirena.
The Cabana Room was filled with a fantastic mix of
current, past and future parents, along with alumni
ranging from the classes of 1960 through 2001, which
speaks to the special commitment and life-long
connections alumni and parents have with Fordham Prep.
By investing in our future - through your support of the
Endowment Fund for tuition and scholarship assistance -
you have helped ensure that the Prep will remain a
bastion of faith, scholarship and service for the next 175
years.
As Fr. Devron said in his remarks, the Prayer of Generosity
is recited daily by our students and truly speaks to all of us:
Lord, teach me to be generous,
to serve you as you deserve,
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to look for any reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
Without our benefactors’ time, talent and financial
support, Fordham Prep would not be able to sustain its
level of excellence - in the classroom, at service sites, on
the athletic fields and in global immersion programs
around the world. Thank you for your extraordinary
generosity.
Members of the Prep Community - students, parents,
faculty, alumni and staff - came together for brunch at
The Harvard Club and proudly represented the Prep in the
march up Fifth Avenue. Faculty members Dr. Patricia Lee
and Mr. Craig Dwyer led the group.
Wall Street Forum
Thank you to all who attended the 2017 Wall Street Forum!
I am extremely grateful to moderator, former Board of
Trustees Chairman Jim Rowen ’82 and featured speaker
John McAvoy ’76, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of ConEdison, for his inspired remarks and forthright
comments regarding the challenges and business
implications facing today's energy industry. Specifically,
Mr. McAvoy's comments regarding the changing emission
standards and how it could affect all of us in the future
was particularly enlightening. Thank you both Jim and
John for spending your afternoon with us!
—Fr. Devron
