Celebration and Award Season
As the school year comes to an end, we are celebrating in each of our schools so that our mentors and students have one last chance to say goodbye for the summer and to show appreciation for all they do.
Our mentors are also winning awards: Wendy Hollander, a SMART and Holocaust Remembrance Program volunteer, is also on the Scholarship Committee and has created and conducted several VIEW workshops for our other mentors, was honored at the Westchester Jewish Council's 19th Annual Julian Y. Bernstein Distinguished Service Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
Diane Bertoli, a Reading Buddies After School and Summer Reading Buddies volunteer, received the 55Plus Yonkers Connections 2014 Annual Mary Hotte Community Service Award. The 2014 Awards was presented by Mayor Mike Spano on June 17 in the Mayor Reception Room at City Hall.
