This week is Teacher Appreciation Week!
Today, on National Principals Day, we celebrate the incredible leaders who bring Yonkers Magic to life in every one of our schools.
Our principals are more than administrators. They are visionaries, problem-solvers, and champions for our students, staff, and families.
