Hastings Teachers Unite in BLUE; Irvington Schools to Address Field Upgrades

Hastings Teachers Fight for Public Education

The teachers and educators in the Hastings-on-Hudson schools will be wearing BLUE on Monday, Dec. 9 to bring attention to the fact that “public education is under attack.” The Hastings teachers are coming together to send a message to John King, the Commissioner of Education in New York State, and the Board of Regents asking that they commit to make the right solutions for public education. If you want to join the Hastings teachers’ effort, you can sign the petition of the resolution being sent to the regents by clicking here.

Rivertown Mamas

Join other new moms in the Rivertowns at this casual discussion group tailored to moms of babies newborn to 1 year. The group talks about everything related to life with a new baby and lots of topics that have absolutely nothing to do with babies. The hope is that you will meet other new moms in the area who will become treasured new friends with similarly-aged children. This is a social group for all new mothers, including second-timers and formula-feeding mamas. The group operates on a pay-what-you-wish model, with a suggested amount of $20 per meeting. Full details are available here.
