Rye Neck Teachers, Admins to Face Off with Harlem Wizards

MAMARONECK, NY — F.E. Bellows Elementary School students were treated to a special visit from Arnold “A-Train” Bernard, an accomplished trickster and member of the Harlem Wizards, who showed off a few dribbling skills and tricks in a recent visit.

His appearance generated excitement about an upcoming basketball game between the world-famous Harlem Wizards and a team of Rye Neck teachers and administrators, according to a district spokesman.

Principal Michael Scarantino announced that he and six other F.E. Bellows staff members will be among the 22-member team taking to the basketball court during the major Booster Club fundraising event at 7 p.m. Feb. 3 in the middle school/high school gymnasium.

Scarantino said the game will be less about the score and more about the experience and money raised for the district.

During the show, the Harlem Wizards will generate laughs, deliver a choreographed trick and slam routine and show off their dribbling skills while entertaining the audience.

The students will also have a chance for a meet-and-greet with all of the Harlem Wizards basketball players.
