STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Custodians are the first line of defense in keeping our school environment clean, healthy and safe. That's why, in honor of National Custodian Day, we are celebrating Ardsley School District custodians.

In addition to daily cleaning, school custodians are also responsible for deep cleaning, disinfecting, groundskeeping, preventive maintenance and repair, building security, energy management, and setting up before (and cleaning up after) all school activities, sport events and meetings.

Special shout out to AMS custodian team, who went above and beyond for Ardsley Cares Day!

Books Galore

CONCORD ROAD

The CRS Annual Book Fair is one of the most beloved and anticipated events of every school year. It's a time when magical, lifelong connections are made - our children relating to memorable characters, and enthusiastic readers sharing their favorite stories!

A special thank you to the Book Fair Committee - Lauren Herzog, Lindsay Fox, Liz Maynard and Monique Robertson - for creatively reimagining the possibilities for a safe, hybrid event.

Students (and grownups) felt the magic and experienced the #BooksGalore

We would like to take a moment to thank Sara Gresh for her years of dedication to the Ardsley PTA!

"Sara was always hands on to guide us through the ins and outs of Spiritwear. She was always very willing and helpful... She also very happily offered her basement as our home for inventory, and was very willing to fill orders as they came in to help us out. Sara is a real asset to our PTA and she will surely be missed. "

-Susan Lombardo, AHS VP PTA
