In 2019, the Junior League of Pelham (JLP) partnered with the PMHS PTA to continue the event, celebrating both the town\u2019s beautiful homes and its rich history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe JLP is proud to partner once again with the PMHS PTA for this beloved Pelham tradition,\u201d said Ali Cheyne-Cavallaro, President of the Junior League of Pelham. \u201cThe tour not only highlights the beauty and history of our town, but also raises essential funds that support meaningful community initiatives in Pelham and beyond. The generosity of the homeowners who graciously open their doors year after year is a testament to the extraordinary spirit of this community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s tour will showcase five homes across the Pelhams, ranging from a century-old Edwardian residence in Pelham Heights to a transformative renovation in Chester Park. Each home features distinct architecture and interior design, highlighting neighborhoods in the Village of Pelham and Pelham Manor. Historical points of interest will also be featured as the community commemorates the 250th anniversary of America\u2019s Declaration of Independence and the Battle of Pelham.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PMHS PTA is honored to keep the 32-year tradition of the House &amp; History Tour alive,\u201d said David Sparano, PMHS PTA President. \u201cThis event is not only a critical fundraiser that sustains teacher support and enhances the student experience over the next two years, but also a celebration of both our town\u2019s character and our students\u2019 incredible talents. We\u2019re thrilled to partner again with the JLP to showcase original artwork by our high school art students and live performances from student musicians throughout these beautiful homes. It\u2019s a community-wide effort for a great cause, and we can\u2019t wait to see everyone there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funds generated by the House &amp; History Tour are vital to the PMHS PTA, serving as its primary financial resource to support field trips, host assemblies, support award ceremonies, provide scholarships, and expand extracurricular activities. Proceeds also fund JLP initiatives, including Ending Hunger, Professional Prep, Sustainability and playground improvement projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sponsors<\/p>\n<p>Premier Sponsor: Jennifer Meyer, Compass Realty<\/p>\n<p>Turn Key Sponsor: April H.
