Yonkers Public Schools Community: Superintendent Soler shares a statement regarding César Chávez.

🏀 The #YonkersPublicSchools community proudly celebrated the Yonkers Middle High School induction of former Roosevelt High School - Early College Studies principal and Class of 1984 alumnus, Mr. Edward DeChent, into the YMHS Wall of Fame. Mr. DeChent’s legacy continues to inspire generations, touching the lives of students, families, and staff alike. Surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues, the evening was filled with pride and gratitude. From upbeat performances by YMHS’s band and cheerleaders to heartfelt tributes, every moment reflected the lasting impact Mr. DeChent has made. The celebration ended on a perfect note, with the unveiling of his Wall of Fame portrait and one final shot on the YMHS basketball court.

Today, #YonkersPublicSchools principals and central office administrators gathered to focus on the budget, accountability, and what matters most — our students. Superintendent Soler opened the principals meeting with budget updates, emphasizing the importance of moving forward with hope while championing our students, families, and staff every step of the way.

“Leadership requires the courage to make difficult decisions, knowing that criticism will come—often from those who have never had to bear the responsibility of leading others.” #leadership #edchat

This week, I attended a rally in support of funding our Yonkers public schools, and I was truly inspired by the students who showed up and spoke out. Seeing young people use their voices, understand the power they hold in a democracy, and advocate for what’s best for their schools and their community is exactly what civic learning looks like in action. Our students are paying attention — and they’re leading. 👏📚🗳️

This #WeekInReview in Yonkers Public Schools was full of meaningful moments and exciting progress. From students discussing Artificial Intelligence at the Superintendent’s Student Leadership Advisory Council to the launch of the Yonkers Promise, this week was full of #YonkersMagic! We also advocated for fair school funding in Albany and celebrated student and alumni achievements. Read the full newsletter to catch up on everything happening across the district.

Proud of our students and parents who went to Albany today to advocate for more funding for Yonkers Schools. Fix the formula! 🩵🤍🩶

Coming soon….The Yonkers Promise! Stay tuned🙏🏼 🩵🤍🩶

Thank you @YonkersCPTA for your leadership on this event.

Tomorrow we rally to fix the foundation aid formula and to fund our schools. For too long Yonkers has been negatively impacted by a broken formula. We must protect our progress. Protect the investment. Protect @YonkersSchools

📚✨ The PEARLS Read-A-Thon was a huge success! PEARLS proudly continued a beloved tradition that began 11 years ago in honor of Ms. Tina Doufekias, a cherished PEARLS teacher whose passion for literacy left a lasting mark on the school community. This year students logged an incredible 376,805 minutes and read 5,564 books, raising $11,543 for the PEARLS PTA Fund. These funds will support classroom enrichment and schoolwide experiences for all PEARLS students. Thank you to everyone who made it possible! #YonkersMagic

In this #WeekInReview, we highlight Yonkers History Day, the districtwide Black History Month celebration, the PEARLS Read-A-Thon, and many more celebrations throughout the district.   From advocacy in Albany to continued progress toward our Yonkers 2030 vision, it’s been an inspiring week for our district.   Click the link in the comments to read the full newsletter and stay connected to the work, celebrations, and advocacy shaping our Yonkers community.
