George and Batya Puro are the proud parents of Deborah (‘22), David (’24), Jacob (’26) and Esther (’28). They have been part of the WDS family since 2012. Batya is an emergency physician and medical toxicologist at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, and George runs a market research firm from his office in White Plains, overlooking the swing set in the backyard. George serves as a Trustee on the Board and has been on the Recruitment Committee and the Head of School Search Committee. More importantly, George is a transport specialist to/from WDS most mornings, as well as many evenings and weekends. He also can be found at WDS at school plays, hockey and basketball games, and has even served the students lunch from the WDS kitchen. Batya has been a Class Parent, a co-chair of the Parent-Teacher Liaison Committee and a co-organizer of the WDS bar/bat mitzvah gift program. She has enjoyed using her medical expertise at Mr. Slater’s Immigration Simulation. Batya and George are members of the Hebrew Institute of White Plains and Young Israel of White Plains. They are indebted to all of the teachers, coaches and administrators at Westchester Day School who have created such a wonderful environment for their children and prepared them so well to be leaders in high school and beyond. Also, the cookies. (Thanks Chef Chris!)
