Nov. 13, 2013: On Monday, October 25, The Chapel School Preschool welcomed eight preschool students from the New York School for the Deaf (NYSD) in White Plains. The two classes from NYSD were joined by their teachers and principal, Barbara Robinson.
Some of the NYSD students were from an auditory-oral class and some from a bilingual (ASL) class. The Chapel School preschoolers were eager to show their guests a great time! The children participated in circle time and show and tell, learned Halloween songs, had snack, and played on the playground.
The Chapel School will continue to enjoy its new friendship with the New York School for the Deaf over the course of this school year with several visits. All the children are excited about the next visit in December.
The Chapel School's preschool director, Michelle Tween, is thrilled about entering this new partnership. "I look forward to watching the preschoolers socialize and learn from each other. Our students are already learning some sign language so that they can communicate even better with their new friends!"
The Chapel School is located on White Plains Road in Bronxville. For more information about The Chapel School and its programs, please call 914-337-3202 or visit its website at www.thechapelschool.org.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
