Yorktown Foundation for Excellence to Honor Six Staff Members at Fundraising Event

The Foundation for Excellence in Yorktown Education will honor six teachers at its annual Spring Dinner Dance in March. 

In an effort to recognize "character education," the Foundation, in conjunction with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ralph Napolitano and the six school principals, has chosen one representative from each building that they feel goes above and beyond their call of duty.

"These individuals are examples for our children," school officials said in an announcement. "They give of themselves and we are all better for it."

The following are the honorees:

• Pamela Chesser, English teacher at 
• Michael Kovalyk, Social studies teacher at ,
• Joanne Silverman, Guidance at ,
• Kathleen Muldoon, fifth grade teacher at ,
• Julia Brotko, kindergarten teacher at 
• Sue Zuckerman, Speech therapy at 

(Patch will highlight each of those teachers in the days prior to the event.)

The annual event will be held on Saturday, March 10, at the Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown. It will feature dinner, dancing, open bar, casino tables, and silent auction items. The cost is $100 per person, $75 for YCSD faculty and $1,000 for a table of 12 guests.

The Foundation for Excellence in Yorktown Education was founded in 1993 to award grants to educators for "developing timely, innovative and creative projects that enrich the educational process of the Yorktown Central School District."
