It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Co-Founder Yvette Siegel-Herzog, a visionary educator and Co-Founder of Stephen Gaynor School. Yvette died on October 1, 2024, at home surrounded by family, at the age of 100.
October is Learning Difference Awareness Month! Members of our faculty and staff are helping to build awareness about language-based learning differences/ADHD by sharing their favorite books, articles, podcasts, documentaries, websites, and more. We invite you to explore their recommendations!
As part of Gaynor’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Gaynor Librarian Dionne De Lancy made a list of books that she recommends to our students and families.
Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Facilities Service Manager Wendy Peters has been on the Facilities team at Gaynor for 16 years, and has seen the school go through all kinds of changes, both architecturally and culturally. We sat down with Wendy for the latest installment of our “Five Questions With…” series, and learned more about her history with the school from the perspective of a staff member, and how deep her love of Gaynor is.
At Stephen Gaynor School, students with learning differences develop essential academic and critical thinking skills through individualized and evidence-based approaches, empowering them to reach their full potential. Students learn to advocate for themselves and others while actively building an inclusive community, a sense of belonging, and a belief in their own possibilities.
