Posted on Sep 29, 2016

Club volunteers have been distributing pencils to First Graders for many years as part of it's education assistance program. The colorful pencils have a special appeal for the youngsters, while teachers have appreciated the gesture. In some of the schools, the teachers have been purchasing the pencils themselves for the students.
In a letter to teachers, accompanying the box of pencils, Club President Mahbub Ahmad said, "Rotary is a service organization that supports many community projects in Yonkers, including recognizing the Yonkers Public Schools 'Administrator of the Year'. With all the financial stress that the school system and families are experiencing these days, we wanted to help you and the parents of your students provide school supplies to your students."
