Education Ambassador: Byram Hills mom Bonnie Waxman
Bonnie Waxman lives in Armonk, New York with her two daughters, Caroline (4th grade) and Emma (3rd grade), her husband Sam, and her dog Weslie.
Bonnie is a former VP of National Broadcast in media buying working on advertising campaigns for clients such as British Airways, Payless Shoes and Sanofi Aventis. She left the industry in 2011 to be a stay-at-home mom, and left New York City in 2018 to move to Westchester and the Byram Hills school district.
Bonnie was involved at the Coman Hill Elementary School as a library volunteer for the past two years until parents were no longer allowed in the school due to the pandemic. At the very start of the pandemic in March, Bonnie created a Facebook group called "Elementary School Parents - at home social distancing activity ideas," to both support parents and help them find creative ways to keep their kids entertained and educated while at home.  It began with local moms and spread across the country, as well as a few internationally to a total of 12,686 parents as of August 2020.
