Dear Friends of Untermyer Gardens,
I am delighted to say that our educational outreach to the Yonkers public schools has taken a giant step forward. Thanks to funding from the City of Yonkers and its school district, we are able to provide free busing to the garden for 32 classes this semester. When Maura May, our Education Coordinator, sent out an announcement to the schools, every available slot was spoken for within 36 hours and a wait list was started! This reveals a deep need for these field trips. The Conservancy is so pleased to enable youngsters of Yonkers to visit and experience such a jewel in their hometown.
Stephen F. Byrns, President
