On Saturday, September 24, 2016, Kellenberg Memorial hosted the Fifth Annual Food & Wine Expo. The popular event, which is sponsored by Kellenberg Alumni Parents Association (KAPA) and the Kellenberg Memorial High School Parents Club, drew nearly 1,300 attendees and offered culinary treats provided by some of Long Island’s most popular eateries, as well as fine wines and craft beers. The expo is one of Kellenberg Memorial High School’s favorite events of the year because it offers the unique opportunity for a wide variety of members of the Kellenberg community - current parents, alumni parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and administrators - to be together and enjoy each other’s company.  It’s also impressive to see how all the alumni parents, current parents, students, and, of course, our incredible vendors, volunteer their time and services to make this event so successful.

Over 200 members of the Kellenberg Memorial family took part in the school’s Alumni Spirit Day, an annual, fun-filled event for the whole family which precedes the Homecoming Football game, on Sunday, September 18th, 2016. The day began with a Family Mass concelebrated by Fr. Albert Bertoni, S.M. and Fr. Philip Eichner, S.M. The Gregorian Consortium, Kellenberg Memorial’s liturgical music group, led the Mass in song and members of the Varsity Football team were present to bestow wooden crosses upon all the children in attendance. After Mass, families went out to the field where all of the future Firebirds enjoyed a fun day of games, arts and crafts, face painting, balloon animals, inflatable water slides, obstacle courses, bounce houses, and visits with the animals in the Kellenberg Zoo.  A barbeque lunch was served in the Queen of the Apostle Courtyard. Tina (Manzo) Caliendo ‘92 reflected on the day, saying, "My years at Kellenberg were some of the best years of my life.  To be able to return with my entire family for Alumni Spirit Day and share with them that experience in some way is truly a gift!  Thank you for a day filled with fun, food, and family!” The festivities continued at 3:00 PM at Kellenberg’s homecoming football game at Mitchel Field, where the Varsity Firebirds beat Mount St. Michael Academy 21-20 in front of an electrified crowd of over 1,000 fans.
