WWBA PARTICIPATES IN READ ACROSS
AMERICA DAY IN YONKERS
Jacqueline Hattar, Esq.
The WWBA celebrated Read Across
America Day on March 2, 2018 at the
Eugenio Maria de Hostos MicroSociety
School in Yonkers, New York.
It is a pre-kindergarten
through eighth grade school
with over 600 students located
in southwest Yonkers,
and its minority enrollment is
approximately 97 percent of
the student body. The volunteers
included Shari Gordon,
Stephanie Melowsky
and Julie Passman.
The staff, students and
parents who compose the
community at the Hostos
School are dedicated to providing
an atmosphere in
which excellence and equality
in education are valued
and achieved by every stu-
dent so that they become
productive members of our
multicultural society.
The Westchester chapter
was one of the first
WBASNY chapters to participate
in the Read Across
America program in the Yonkers
Public School approximately
11 years ago. During
the course of their involvement
in this program,
the chapter has donated
books, t-shirts and school
supplies. We look forward
to participating in the Read
Across America program
next year. ◗
