Reunions
It may be hard to
believe that 10, 20 or even 50 years have
passed since you last sat in an Incarnation
classroom. To celebrate your graduation from
Incarnation, we would like to assist every
Class in planning an alumni reunion.
Most reunions are held on a weekend and
include an Alumni Mass, School Tour and
reception in the school gymnasium.
To begin planning a reunion or to get a
contact list for your graduating class,

On September 25th
more than 40 members of the Class of 1960
smiled and laughed as a large, gold hand
bell they remembered from their schooldays
beckoned them to once again enter the doors
of Incarnation School. It had been 50
years since they graduated from Incarnation
School as eighth graders, and for some
of them it was their first trip back. After
a reunion mass, alumni headed to the school
for a reception and school tours led by
current students. Alumni enjoyed peeking
into their old classrooms with the same
hardwood floors and sunny windows that they
knew from fifty years before at Incarnation.
While many things such as the coat hooks,
chalkboards, and stairways of their alma
mater have remained unchanged, alumni
were excited to see the addition of
sophisticated technology into the
classrooms. They exclaimed over the
Smartboards and expressed their hope that
someday every classroom at Incarnation would
have one. The Class of 1960 was also
impressed with Incarnation’s new rooftop
playground. While many alumni have fond
memories of recess spent on 175th
Street, they agreed that the roof was
a wonderful spot and spent some time
admiring the view. As one alum noted, “It
is a pleasure to see the school so
well maintained.”
In honor of its 50th
Reunion, the Class of 1960 has donated
enough money to purchase four reading rugs
for classroom Literacy Centers as well as to
sponsor a current Incarnation student’s
tuition for an entire year. We are very
grateful to the Class of 1960 for its
generosity, continued support and
especially for its sincere love of our
school.
