Yesterday, we had the incredible opportunity to host for a thrilling Ski8forlife Assembly. Our children were captivated as they explored the exciting history of skateboarding, all while learning about goal setting and embracing a positive mindset. The event was highlighted by an amazing skateboarding show that left everyone inspired and thrilled! Thank you for participating in our fundraising efforts which allow us to bring these activities to our school community.

A message from Yonkers Public Schools Superintendent Anibal Soler, Jr.

There are no words to express the depth of sadness that we’re wrestling with, here in the Yonkers Public Schools today. At this moment we are mourning a child, praying for a family and huddling to support and comfort one another.

At 11:39 this morning at Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School, a 12-year-old 6th grader was choking and became unresponsive. Emergency Responders attempted to resuscitate the boy and transported him to Saint Joseph’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

As police investigate the nature of the medical emergency, we remain focused on caring for his classmates, teachers and staff who are in terrible pain. The District has grief counselors on hand who can provide a safe space during this unbearable time.

I ask all of you in the Yonkers Public Schools to rally together. One of our families needs us. Please keep them in your prayers.
