Neighbors taking action for Yonkers

A Delivery Worth Making

Members are bringing pencil cases to Yonkers school partners, one delivery at a time.

In a first-grade classroom, a Rotary member in a brown cardigan shakes hands with a teacher while handing over a pencil case as seated students applaud.

Our pencil project is reaching Yonkers classrooms, one delivery at a time. Christian Fassetta, Freda Attepor Aboagye, and Barbara Hanna have been bringing supplies to our school partners, and these photos capture the connections along the way.

The project prepared 7,200 pencils for 120 first-grade classes across 40 Yonkers schools. It brings a simple idea to life: give our youngest neighbors tools to learn, write, and explore.

Thank you to Christian, Freda, and Barbara for making these deliveries, to honorary Club member Carole Conklin for preparing the pencils, and to everyone who helped assemble the cases and school bags.
