A Note from the Executive Director, Donald Bluestone
This 2013-2014 program year promises to be one of the best
andmost exciting here at the Mosholu Montefiore Community
Center.
We have succeeded in receiving many new grants to improve
ourprograms and offerings. Our Federal Head Start Program,
servingthree to four-year-olds, has expanded from 51 children to
280children. Universal Pre-Kindergarten for all four-year-olds,
hasexpanded with three additional full-day classes and five
half-dayclasses. We have converted two classrooms on our first
floor toaccommodate an increase in demand and serve more Head
Startchildren. We also renovated the Van Cortlandt Jewish Center
at3880 Sedgwick Avenue to open eight additional classrooms forour
Child Development Center (CDC).
I am thrilled to announce renovations were completed at
ourbeautiful Mosholu Day Camps at Harriman State Park located
inBear Mountain.
A new Boys & Girls Club site, featuring an excellent Teen
Center,opened its doors in August to serve the Parkchester
community.An additional Out-of-School Teens (OST) Programs will
commencein November. PS41 on Olinville Avenue and MS 244 The
NewSchool for Leadership and the Arts at 231st Street and
SedgwickAvenue will house these new programs.
To finalize this winter, MMCCs Little League will merge withthe
North Bronx Little League to become the North Bronx/Mosholu
Montefiore Little League. Our newly formed league willgain entry
into Little League of America and join its competitorsfor a
remarkable season of baseball. In January, we will open
threeCornerstone Youth and Adult Centers at Marble Hill,
BostonSecor Houses and Gun Hill Housing Projects.
