Hi Westchester families &mdash; Sarah Bonanno here. Originally from Pleasantville, Hackley alum, and now a CUNY PhD student in English, currently teaching college writing at Brooklyn College. I run <a href="bonannoworkshop.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Bonanno Writing Workshop</a>, a freelance writing tutoring practice for high school and college students. I'm currently working with a Pleasantville HS senior on academic writing and college prep, and figured I'd reintroduce myself more broadly as summer prep season approaches. 
 I made a free worksheet for the most common writing problem I see: a thesis that's true but too vague to argue. It walks through three tests (specific / contestable / significant) and the four traps thesis statements usually fall into.

<a href="bonannoworkshop.com/worksheet" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"></a> If your junior or senior is already mid-draft and stuck &mdash; or heading into college essay season this summer &mdash; I'm taking on a few new students. Sessions over Zoom or in person when I'm in Westchester. 
Happy to answer questions in the comments or via the website.

Ron Blacks Beer Hall

Think of it as the opposite of karaoke: no one is handed a mic to sing all alone—we display the lyrics to the entire room and everyone sings together.
And, unlike karaoke, we don’t use canned knockoff accompaniment—we play the best-known recordings, and our guests sing along with the original artists!
We have designed the experience for musical theater fans age 40 and up; but&nbsp;Gotta Sing: BROADWAY is fun for all ages—as long as you love singing show tunes, you’re in!
Come early to enjoy a great meal at the restaurant before the event!

What Is Your Home Really Worth Right Now?

CENTURY 21 Elite Realty

The real estate market is not pricing homes one way right now - it’s being priced three different ways. Some homes are listed below market to create bidding wars and sell far over asking. Some are priced at market value and move depending on timing and demand. Others are overpriced and sit with no activity. That’s why online estimates and list prices alone can be misleading. If you're thinking about selling, the real question isn’t just “what is my home worth?” It’s: what is the right pricing strategy to maximize your outcome? Get a real evaluation based on current market behavior - not just an algorithm. 📍 Serving Westchester, Rockland &amp; Bergen County
