Donate children’s books in memory of the Steinberg family

Friends of the Steinberg family organized a children’s book drive in their memory. They collect new and lightly used books suitable for children in grades one through five to benefit the Reading Buddies After School program, an after-school club in SHS that matches high school volunteers with elementary school children through JCY Westchester Community Partners. Volunteers work with the younger children on homework and academic skills and these mentoring sessions often turn into strong bonds.

Members of Irene Steinberg’s book club decided to organize the collection because Irene was an avid reader and her son Zach founded the Reading Buddies club.

The five members of the Steinberg family, Irene, Bruce, Zachary, William and Matthew of Scarsdale died in a tragic plane crash in Costa Rica on December 31, 2017.

Book donations can be left at Greenacres Primary School, Westchester Reform Temple and Scarsdale High School (Brewster Road entrance) April 10-20.
