Board of Education President Dr. Rosalba Del Vecchio returned to Enrico Fermi School and felt the same warmth that once shaped her as a student. Walking the familiar halls, she paused at La Bodeguita de Fermi – the school’s new community bodega filled with food and essentials for families.
Dr. Del Vecchio praised Principal Melissa Rodriguez and the partnership with Feeding Westchester that made this possible. The Board of Education had approved this initiative earlier in the year, but seeing it in action carried a different weight. The shelves, the colors, the quiet gratitude in the air – each detail spoke to what community looks like when service meets empathy.
As part of #SchoolBoardRecognitionWeek, the visit reminded us that behind every policy are people. For Dr. Del Vecchio, it also brought back memories of her own time at Fermi – her National Honor Society induction, her graduation, and the pride that still lives in those walls.
Thank you, Dr. Del Vecchio, and the Yonkers Board of Education, for leading with heart and vision.
