THE BRONXVILLE ADULT SCHOOL, INC. a non-profit educational institution chartered by the New York State Board of Regents A LETTER FROM OUR CHAIR Dear Friends, The start of a new school year is exciting for students of all ages, and probably even more so for those of us who can enjoy enrichment classes with no thought of homework or exams! The Bronxville Adult School is ready for you this fall with a great blend of new classes and old favorites. We at the BAS consider the school a real treasure in our southern Westchester neighborhood, an integral part of our community. So we’re happy to announce two exciting community collaborations. Just in time for the Eastchester 350 Celebration’s Big Read project, we have a trip to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, site of the Big Read book 97 Orchard. We’re also working with Concordia College’s OSilas Gallery and the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the Rodin exhibition featured at the Gallery this fall. Come join our excursion to the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia to see more of this famous artist’s works, or perhaps take a French cooking or language class. Our offerings in the arts have expanded over the last few years, thanks to enthusiastic reactions from our students. Now you can participate in our studio art and crafts classes plus enjoy a film series, Understanding Opera, Great Composers and Jerrilynn Dodds’ sold-out lectures. Don’t miss out! And of course, we continue to have wonderful cooking, technology, fitness and bridge classes plus much, much more. The Bronxville Adult School has long been independent of the Bronxville School District; we are self-supporting and receive no tax dollars. We rely on course fees and donations to fulfill our mission of providing life-long learning at affordable prices. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to help us continue our 71 years of community service, please go to our website at www.bronxvilleadultschool.org, and click on “Donate”.
