2024 OPENING DAY WITH CASTLE HILL LITTLE LEAGUE

Had a great time celebrating Opening Day with Castle Hill Little League/ Castle Hill RBI!

DEL VALLE SQUARE REVITALIZATION PROJECT

It was a pleasure to attend the unveiling of beautiful artwork produced by local Bronx students that will highlight the $15 million Del Valle Square revitalization project! 

As we continue to step up our efforts to rebuild the Bronx, it is important to include our youth in this process and encourage the future generations to take ownership and develop a sense of pride in where they come from.
