Tomorrow marks the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week!

SAS offers two great options to convey a heartfelt "thank you" to our instructors:

First, honor all of your favorite SAS instructors by making a fully tax-deductible donation in any amount on our donation page, and be sure to identify the names of the SAS instructors to be recognized in the comment section (see image below). We will notify your instructors of the names of every student who pays tribute to them with a "teacher appreciation week" donation. Your name will also appear on our year end donor honor roll.

If you prefer to donate by check, please make it payable to Scarsdale Adult School and write the name(s) of the teacher(s) to be honored in the memo line. Send to:

Scarsdale Adult School

P.O. Box 205

Scarsdale, NY 10583

Next, submit your nomination for the next inductee to our Hall of Fame. Earlier this year, during our Student/Teacher Art Show in January, we honored arts & crafts instructor Hope Friedland. In the fall of 2023, while celebrating our 85th anniversary, we launched our figurative Hall of Fame by inducting history/current events instructor Alfred Hunt and literature/writing instructor Harriet Langsam Sobol.

Let us know who should be the next honoree and why by sending an email to Executive Director Jill Serling.

On behalf of our faculty, board, and staff, thank you for your loyalty and engagement in our community of learners!
