Cortlandt, NY Is Important: Mr. Colasante's 2nd grade

~ Cortlandt Manor, NY ~

Here is a description of Cortlandt Manor taken from the website listed below:

One of the largest municipalities in Westchester County, The Town of Cortlandt encompasses two incorporated villages, several hamlets and even more neighborhoods. Each has distinctive characteristics, but they are united by their magnificent common heritage. The town, boasting almost 15 miles of Hudson River shoreline, extends from the Bear Mountain Bridge in the north to the Croton River -- with the exception of the City of Peekskill, wrapped in the center. However, its attractions go inland from the Hudson River, into rural sections, combining sophistication with the natural, the tranquil with the cultural.

~ Cortlandt Manor, NY ~

The most important thing about Cortlandt Manor is that it is OUR community. There are lots of other wonderful things about Cortlandt Manor.
There are many friends that live here.
And lots of stores to shop at.
And there are many pools to go swimming at
in the summer.
And there are lots of trees that provide us
with fresh air.
And it is a nice place to live with lots of nice people.
And we have all different kinds of people.
And there are lots of great schools (like Van Cort!).

And there are good baseball fields.
And there is a shopping mall close by.
And we are right next to the Bear Mountain Bridge.
And we get pretty flowers in the spring.
And there are places to go bike riding.
But the most important thing about Cortlandt Manor is that it is OUR community.
