Memorial Day Bronxville 2021 Gallery of Photos
By Staff
June 2, 2021: Memorial Day 2021 began with "One Square Mile of Food Trucks and Fun" on Saturday, May 22nd organized by the Bronxville School PTA. Food Trucks were located in neighborhoods around town, enabling people to enjoy delicious food and socializing in small groups. The PTA Apparel Sale and dollar raffle took place on the front lawn of the school from May 22 - 28.
The village of Bronxville also set up a display on the corner of Midland Avenue and Pondfield Road honoring local veterans that we lost this past year. The display includes plaques and stories about each veteran.
There was then a beautiful ceremony on Friday, May 28 at The Bronxville School. Bronxville School Superintendent, Roy Montesano, presided over the ceremony and recognized local veterans, including Bronxville School staff members. He also recognized Bronxville school graduates who are currently serving in the military and offered a moment of silence for those who "gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedom."
There was a placing of the school wreaths by the girl scouts and a playing of taps. Bronxville High School Class President, Liam Heraty, spoke at the event, as did 8th grader Charlotte Black. Two sophomore students, Drew Doyle and Remi Mellinghoff, were honored for their service to the school. The school band and chorus provided the music.

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
