We hope everyone has had a restful and enjoyable summer. The first day of school is Wednesday, Sept. 5. We're looking forward to a productive school year of learning and growing together!
Read about how the standout senior did at all to lead the Rams to a win on the gridiron Saturday, scoring four touchdowns and a two-point conversion.
All of the hard work paid off. In early June, a handful of Port Chester High School seniors graduated from the Westchester Youth Police Academy.
To cap off a wonderful year full of learning at Park Avenue School, fifth-grade students enjoyed a PTO-sponsored picnic at Crawford Park.
The Port Chester High School hallways were livened by vibrant flower-themed artworks. Principal Mitchell Combs called them "terrific spring-themed work from our talented student-artists."
A big congratulations to the 313 Port Chester High School students who graduated on June 22. We can't wait to see what the future holds for the Class of 2018. The ceremony took place on the field in front of a packed crowd on the bleachers.

How are you feeling today? Do you need some self-confidence or patience? Maybe you need kindness or faith? Teacher Candace Calabrese’s eighth-grade class can help.
Throughout the spring months, the group created a “Take What You Need” bulletin board that pays tribute to Port Chester Middle School’s late assistant principal Byron Womack. The board features giant, open envelopes, labeled with different virtues and stuffed with inspirational quotes. Students and staff are invited to approach the board and select a quote from the envelope they need.
“You take what you need,” said student Kyle Stellate. “If you need love, you take from the ‘love’ envelope. It will help your day out.”
When Mr. Womack died in February, the school community was shocked and saddened to hear the news. To honor his generous legacy, Ms. Calabrese discussed with her students Mr. Womack’s lasting impact on the school. They spoke about his actions and how he shared his love of education and community.
“Mr. Womack motivated us to be better people,” said student Pedro Silva. “We’re honoring him with this. If you’re having a bad day, you can pick out what you need and have a better day.”
The project, which encourages others to feel good, helped the students deal with the loss, said Ms. Calabrese. The children added that they were heartened when they saw their classmates approach the bulletin board and select a quote.
Ms. Calabrese worked alongside teacher Jeannie Iantorno to create the bulletin board with the eighth-graders. The students who participated were: Jackie Soto, Janeth Garcia, Samantha Mendoza, Aracely Monroy, Joel Flores, Alejandro Levy, Alejandro Duran, Ruben Zamano, Pedro Silva, Junior Vizhco, Kyle Stellate and Giovanna Greco.

Help us obtain our rightful school aid by contacting state-elected officials and others who influence state funding for education.
Send emails and make phone calls to state officials before mid-March, when a state budget is normally passed.
