Thank you to Don Chuy's Restaurant for supplying the prizes! 1st and 2nd place teams pictured below. See tournament pics here.

Mrs. Valerie Oddo: The entire Rye Neck community wishes administrative assistant Val Oddo well as she retires later this month. Val's service was recognized at Wednesday's Board of Education meeting. The three seniors pictured with her--Katie Harvey, Fiona Fox and Lizzie Mitchell--were founding members of the Crochet Club, which Mrs. Oddo advised. Her friendly face, energy and enthusiasm will be missed!

Mrs. Julie Ianello: "Mrs. I" has been central to the success of Rye Neck's Athletic Program for more than 20 years. Athletic Director, Joe Ceglia offered a moving tribute to her time as his assistant, underscoring her willingness to give of her time and herself for the greater good of our program. No matter the event--Homecoming, Panther Palooza, a rainy Saturday, a Friday evening--Mrs. I's energy and enthusiasm was a dependable mainstay of the Rye Neck fields! We wish her well in this new phase of her life and want her to know how very much she will be missed.
