Letter to the Editor: Bronxville Athletic Council and PTA Thank Bronxville Community for Support during Homecoming Week
To the Editor:
Nov. 1, 2017: As a follow-up to the Bronxville School Homecoming 2017, the Bronxville Athletic Council and PTA would like to thank the incredibly generous support of the Bronxville community, whose members tirelessly donated their time, energy, products, and services, and without which we could not have organized and enjoyed such a well-attended and fun homecoming week celebration.
We want to thank our local business donors for the fabulous and most generous food donations to the Bronco Barn & Grill: Park Place Bagels, Scarborough Fair, Mini's Prime Meats & Specialties, Lange's Delicatessen, and the Eastchester Odyssey Diner. Their delicious meals were enjoyed by all the Bronco fans in the stands and helped raise money to support the Athletic Council programs throughout the year.
Also, we would like to thank Pete's Park Place Tavern and Gino's Pizzeria & Restaurant for offering team dinners for the winners of two spirit competitions among the high school teams during homecoming. From the bottom of our hearts (and stomachs), thank you all for your generosity!
The Athletic Council is also very grateful for and appreciates all the loyal support and sponsorship of over 75 Journal News advertisers cheering on our Bronco teams:

In addition to the business advertisers, we extend our gratitude to over 40 Bronxville families and all 13 varsity & JV fall teams for placing a spirit ad in the Journal News. Simply amazing; our endless gratitude for your continued support--thank you!
To all the volunteers who made homecoming an incredible success manning the Bronco Barn & Grill, shifts for the PTA semi-annual apparel sale, and all of the behind-the-scenes planners of the homecoming week celebration, we are very grateful and appreciate all the work and time you put in to support the Athletic Council and Bronxville School community of fans and athletes! We could not do this without you, a million thanks!
And finally, the Athletic Council would like to thank Karen Peterson, Dawn Hartson, and Anthony Vaglica and the amazing grounds team of the Bronxville Athletic Department for their selfless dedication to the Bronxville School athletes, the Athletic Council, and the PTA during all of the homecoming festivities. We are overwhelmed by your support--you never let us down and we are so grateful!
The generosity of 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, Spirit Week, and more.
The Bronxville Athletic Council and PTA are all so proud of this year's accomplishments and success of homecoming week. Thank you!
Rose Crawford, Parent Co-Chair, Bronxville Athletic Council, and Linda Pagano, Parent Member, Bronxville Athletic Council

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.
