Photo Opps: Thanksgiving Football, WJCS Gift Drive, Scavenger Hunt and Christmas Wreaths

Keith Schutzman reports that Greenacres dads and sons held their 17th Annual Greenacres Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving and it was bigger and better than ever. There were almost 30 participants. For the first time they played fathers vs. sons and as could be expected, youth won out pretty handily. However, the fathers excelled at the post game "mini-tailgate in the park." While the youths rehashed their great plays, the dads bemoaned their dropped passes and blown coverages over bagels, donuts and a lot of beverages.

WJCS Holiday Gift Drive:

Over 200 gifts for kids were donated at the 10th annual gift drive for Westchester Jewish Community Services at the home of Linda Plattus on Tuesday December 1st. Gift cards, lego sets, craft kits, barbies and superheroes will be distributed to the many children in the county served through WJCS's programs. Representatives from WJCS reviewed their work, asked for volunteers and thanked the group for the gifts, saying that for some children, these would the only holiday gifts they would receive.

Greenacres Scavenger Hunt:

Parents and students investigated the Greenacres School inside out, at a scavenger hunt sponsored by the PTA to celebrate its centennial year on Sunday November 29, 2015.

Teams of parents and kids were given a list of clues and searched the school to find the answers. They searched everywhere, from the faculty lounge to the library and hall bulletin boards to complete the hunt, which included some puzzling questions like, "Greenacres has an inedible turkey, How many feathers does it have?

Once they completed the hunt, they totaled up their scores and received some beautiful prizes bearing the Greenacres centennial logo.

The gym was set up with a complete array of games and crafts, offering a good time for all.It was quite an undertaking. Hats off to school on its 100th birthday.

Scarsdale Boy Scouts:

Scarsdale Boy Scouts Troop 4 prepared over 200 wreaths to be sold to the community. Proceeds from the annual sale help to fund the troop's activities. The troop is a non-sectarian unit and welcomes boys from middle through high school.
