~ Join us at our
Scholarship Brunch in June! ~
The Jewish Council of Yonkers offers 18
scholarships worth $14,000 to students residing in Yonkers and honors
three outstanding educators.
The Jewish Council of Yonkers champions the achievements of our students
who become the leaders of our community within a few short years.
Through collaborative efforts, the JCY awards scholarships to Yonkers
students who excel academically and/or artistically and to those who
have made strong commitments to community service.
On
Sunday, June 5, 2005, the JCY will host its 7th Annual Scholarship
Brunch at Temple Emanu-El in Yonkers. Almost $14,000 in awards will be
presented to 18 Yonkers students and 3 of our most outstanding educators
will be honored. The JCY will present awards to Beth Quinn (Gorton High
School teacher), Dr. Marvin Feldberg (School 22 principal ), and Arline
Frey (Lincoln High School teacher).
The public is invited to contact the JCY , (914) 423-5009, to reserve a
ticket or for more information. (Tickets to the brunch are $36.)
Although the guidelines for the majority of the scholarships stipulate
that the qualifying students be Yonkers Public School graduates, two new
scholarships will be offered this year to Jewish students who live in
Yonkers, but attend any public, private or religious school:
-
The Dr. Beth and
Chuck Schorr Lesnick Yonkers Resident Community Service Scholarship
for $500 is available to a senior living in Yonkers; and
-
The $500 Junior
Leadership Award, sponsored by Allan Eisenkraft and Steve and Lori
Rosenfeld in memory of Helen Arzt, is available to a high school
junior who lives in Yonkers.
