Superintendent's Corner
May 10th, 2013
Spring has finally arrived and there are several “new beginnings” throughout the District. You may know by now that Greenburgh Academy (GA) has relocated to Sacred Heart in Yonkers at 108 Shonnard Place as of April 1st. The transition from Abbott House to Sacred Heart was seamless and several outstanding punch list items are being addressed as of this date.
Both students and staff welcomed the relocation to the Sacred Heart School that has been modernized and meets the needs of the GA community. The upgrades include but are not limited to new tiles, fresh coats of paint, new windows, increased power, larger classrooms, more efficient heating and air conditioning systems, improved parking, a refurbished gymnasium and enhanced connectivity to the internet.
If you have an interest in touring GA, please contact:
Mr. David Gualtiere, Assistant Principal at

The Marching Cobras, the district drum corp and dance line, took a respite during the months of March and April but are now back in full swing. The Marching Cobras kicked off St. Christopher’s annual Gala on May 1, 2013 in fine fashion with several riveting numbers. All participants enjoyed the evening’s entertainment. Several Community events are planned for the remainder of the school year.
If you are interested in more information regarding the Marching Cobras, please contact:
Mr. Terrel Stowers at 914-844-3526.
This week is Teacher’s Appreciation week and it is an opportunity to thank our staff for the good work they do with our students day in and day out. I greatly appreciate all of our staff who have helped shape the lives of our students. Clearly, our staff has made a difference in the lives of the students and their families.
