Here is a wrap up of the brunch from '09: The first annual Alumni Brunch was a huge success. In one meeting we have formalized the Leto Alumni Association and raised $100 toward the establishment of a scholarship and $500 in membership dues. The Leto culinary arts team provided an outstanding meal and was the benefit of
another $300 raised by the $10 ticket prices.
Derek Stewart ('91) makes a presentation to all of the alumni at the brunch. He has been selected as the President of the Alumni Association. |

Homecoming October 23rd, 2009: The Alumni Dinner, School Tour and Homecoming football game was a great success. It looks as though we are starting a strong tradition of Alumni involvement as we had almost
100 alumni in attendance. We had Alumni from representing the class of 1967 all the way to 2008!
Here is a complete list of events:
The Alumni Association held a school tour that started at 5:15 and detailed Leto's growth from its original construction through the renovations and expansions of '69, '72, '76, '78, '82, '89 and most recently '01.
At 6:00, we had our first annual Alumni Dinner. We raised $800 for our culinary arts program who catered the event. We had our second bi-annual meeting.
The homecoming game kicked-off at Mahin-Hoffman Stadium. Unfortunately the Falcons fell in defeat, but it was sure great to see the Alumni wearing their RED, GOLD and WHITE in support of the team!

Gym Painting Started Michael McManus ('91) spent his Christmas break in the Falcon's nest. He repainted an area that had fallen into disrepair. "The paint was peeling off the wall that said Falcon Pride. The logo looked more like a chicken than a Falcon.", said McManus. "I wanted to do something about it during volleyball season, but I did not have the time until Christmas.", he added. The wall looks great and marks another contribution from a former Falcon.
