Research J V Forrestal Elementary School public Schools in Newburgh, New York

“In many instances a principal of a building 'sets the tone' for that building. JVF is of no exception as Mr. Steven Borrello is truly an amazing advocate for children. What sets apart JVF from the rest perhaps is that, in addition to this wonderful principal, the students are blessed with a staff that genuinely cares (even when no one is looking) and supports it's kids. The PTSO is unrivaled and the atmosphere from the Main Office through the Lunchroom on down to the classrooms themselves is very upbeat and positive. With a dedicated, focused staff, caring administration and hard-working children it's a win win situation for everyone.”
