A Big Thank-You from the PTA for Supporting Homecoming
By Linda Pagano, Bronxville Parent and Member of the Bronxville PTA Athletic Council
Oct. 24, 2018: The “Broncos Together” initiative was born of the PTA Athletic Council’s desire to renew the spirit and widen the collective that is a Bronxville Bronco..
This past week was Bronxville’s homecoming week, and Bronco supporters were out in full force. The game day flags and feather flags were up and proudly waving, and game night lights were in position on the field in anticipation of upcoming games. And for the first time, homecoming week banners hung in the Bronxville business district, reaching out to the Bronxville community, inviting everyone to be a part of the spirit that is Homecoming.
Athletes, students, family, faculty, alumni, fans, and neighbors all joined in celebrating homecoming, and the Bronxville PTA Athletic Council would like to thank the Bronxville community, including everyone who donated time, energy, products, and services to an amazingly well-attended and exciting homecoming Week celebration.
Thank you to the local business donors for the incredibly generous and delicious food donations to the Bronco Barn & Grill, including the Eastchester Odyssey Diner, Lange's Delicatessen of Bronxville, Mini's Prime Meats & Specialties, Park Place Bagels, and Scarborough Fair. These delicious meals were enjoyed by all of the Bronco fans in the stands and helped raise money to support the Athletic Council programs throughout the year. Thanks to Pete’s Park Place Tavern and Gino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant for offering team dinners to the winners of spirit competitions during homecoming. The PTA Athletic Council is so grateful for your generosity!

We could not do this without you, a million thanks!
And finally, the Athletic Council would like to thank Karen Peterson, Dawn Hartson, Anthony Vaglica, and the amazing grounds team of the Bronxville Athletic Department for their selfless dedication to the Bronxville School athletes and the PTA Athletic Council during all of the homecoming festivities.
The generosity by so many in the Bronxville community enables the Athletic Council to raise funds to support all of the programs that will continue to complement the Bronxville Athletic Program throughout the year, such as game day flags, bonfire night, homecoming game lights, food truck night, spirit T-shirts, banners, the parade of athletes, pep rallies, and spirit week.

Letters Directory
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.
