Families, students, and colleagues: Mayor Mike Spano has declared a State of Emergency in the City of Yonkers as of midnight. We will keep you posted.
The four My Brother's Keeper Fellows representing Yonkers - Joel Gonzalez (Gorton High School), Quilan Wilson (Lincoln High School), Max Hernandez (Yonkers Middle High School), and Marcus Knight, Jr. (Barack Obama School for Social Justice) - had a powerful, impactful, and truly transformative experience in Albany last week, taking the stage at the Annual Stand and Deliver: My Brother's Keeper Fellows Leadership Workshop and Speaker Showcase and courageously sharing inspiring stories of how MBK has shaped their lives and futures.
From turning fear into motivation to shifting their mindsets toward endless possibilities, the MBK Yonkers Fellows spoke eloquently about discovering acceptance and purpose through their MBK brotherhood.
Their voices, alongside MBK Chapters across New York State, resonated deeply, inspiring and highlighting the movement's lasting impact on confidence and public speaking.
We are incredibly proud of their growth and leadership. The future is bright, and this is only the beginning. #MBKALLDAY #MBKYonkers #MBKModelCommunity

Children’s author Nick Bruel recently joined students in grades PK–4 at School 30, inspiring young readers through creativity and a love of reading!
Students had the exciting opportunity to meet the author, learn about his creative process, and discover how he brings his beloved Bad Kitty stories and illustrations to life.
What a memorable event!

Also, this week Superintendent Soler stood alongside Mayor Mike Spano during a press conference addressing the fiscal challenges facing our district. Transparency matters. Partnership matters. And advocacy matters.
