Volunteers Needed For SBNC and Westchester Community Partners

Volunteers are needed to serve on the Scarsdale School Board Nominating Committee and as mentors for Westchester students. Details are below:

The School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC) is an elected group of 30 members who identify, propose and nominate qualified candidates to run for the Scarsdale Board of Education. The 30 voting members represent each of the five elementary school neighborhoods. Each year ten new members are elected to serve a three-year term on the SBNC.

Please help to maintain our excellent Scarsdale schools and serve our community by volunteering to run for the SBNC.

To become a candidate, complete a biographical form and submit it, with a candidate petition with signatures from ten residents in your elementary school district, by November 19, 2013 to the SBNC Administrative Committee, P.O. Box 172H, Scarsdale, NY 10583. These forms can be downloaded from www.scarsdalesbnc.com, where further information on the process can also be found. The forms are also available at the Scarsdale Library and Village Hall.

If you are interested in becoming a candidate or have questions, please visit the SBNC's website at www.scarsdalesbnc.com. Also, feel free to contact the SBNC Administrative Committee Co-chairs: Janet Korins at janet.korins@verizon.net or Jyoti Ruta at jyoti.ruta@gmail.com.

Adult and Teen Volunteers Needed to Serve as Mentors

One Mentor, One Child, One Book at a Time --You can make a difference in the life of a child. For just one hour each week, read with a student in Mt. Vernon, White Plains, Yonkers or Elmsford and experience the big impact that this small commitment will make. Whether it is during the school day or after school, we have children that need your help. For more information please contact Randee Ginsberg at rginsberg@jcy-wcp.com.  It's easy. It's fun. It's worthwhile. It makes a difference!
