Bronxville Common

Sarah and her family moved to Bronxville 3 years ago. She and her husband Anthony, like so many others, chose Bronxville for its excellent school, charming downtown, and a desire for a sense of community where their two children, Blythe and Charlie, could thrive. Blythe is currently a second grader in the Elementary School and Charlie will be entering Kindergarten next year. Sarah has served as a class parent in the Elementary School for the past 2 years, volunteering in the classroom and chaperoning field trips. She can often be found on the playground and on the sidelines of high school sporting events cheering on the Broncos. Sarah and Anthony are active parishioners at St. Joseph’s Church. Sarah is a member of the Mother’s Club and Anthony is a member of the Men’s Club and coaches Blythe’s CYO basketball team.  

With young children in the Elementary School, Sarah is heavily invested in the continued long-term excellence of the School. She recognizes that the coming years present opportunities as the District embarks on the capital project and navigates rapid advancements in technology.  Sarah understands the needs and concerns of new families and would encourage more transparency in communications to this new generation of parents. While newer to the community, Sarah appreciates the wonderful traditions which remind her of the close-knit community she grew up in outside of Philadelphia.  

She is the daughter of a former teacher and school administrator and sister of a special education teacher, which has provided her with a unique understanding of the challenges and pressures that come with those roles.  She has a deep respect for educators and wants to continue the tradition of recruiting, supporting, and maintaining fantastic teachers.   

Sarah is an attorney at Clyde & Co LLP specializing in insurance coverage for directors’ and officers’, employment practices, professional, and commercial general liability matters. Her work in contract interpretation, negotiation, and liability and risk assessment will provide valuable insight and resources for the broad range of matters presented to the Board.  Sarah is often faced with balancing competing interests and is skilled at finding consensus, common ground, and solutions to complex issues.  She is a member of her firm’s Women’s Initiative and Chair of the Parent & Carer Network which supports working parents and caregivers and works with firm leadership to address the needs of the parent and carer community.  This experience will help guide her in working to support our working families.  Sarah and Anthony have appreciated and taken advantage of the expanded BASC program and have been thrilled to see the Funball Camp offerings during school breaks.  Expanding these types of resources for our families is an area Sarah views as an opportunity for further growth and potential.  

Sarah is a graduate of Lafayette College and Brooklyn Law School.  She is excited about the opportunity to give back to this wonderful community by serving on the Board of Education.
