Thank you, Bronco Class of 70!
Members of Montini Catholic's administration and alumni teams were honored to gather in front of classroom #103 on Thursday, January 24th to honor members of the Lasallian college preparatory school's charter class - the Class of 1970 - for their donation of funds towards the renovation of the classroom. Father Jeff Stoneberg from Christ the King Parish is Lombard was also present to bless the classroom which had been updated due to the generosity of the class members.
"They specifically chose Room #103 to renovate because it was one of the freshmen homerooms in 1966 when Montini first opened," said Katie Doll Hubeny '96, Alumni Relations Director. (Montini's first day of school was September 14, 1966.) "Included in the classroom renovation were new desks, new ceiling tiles/grid, LED lighting with dimmers, carpeting, SMART Board technology, installation of whiteboards for classroom instruction and finally, a fresh coat of paint."
Representing the Class of 1970 were graduates, Mike Manna '70, Tom Young, Mark Steagall and Mary (Cesaretti) Traficanti. Following the blessing, President Kevin Beirne thanked the class for their loyalty to their alma mater and dedication to the betterment of Montini's facilities. A special plaque has been placed outside the classroom door to forever memorialize the occasion.
"It's very fitting that our Charter Class of 1970 is the first class to come together to raise funds to renovate a classroom," said Hubeny. "We were so proud today to dedicate Room 103 to this historic class, forever cementing their Montini legacy."
