Middle School Receives re-designation
“Receiving the Schools to Watch Re-designation Award and meeting Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy were highlights of our trip to the 10th Annual National Forum Schools to Watch Conference,” explained conference attendee Kimberly Greenwald. “It’s nice to see so many people working together to make learning a meaningful experience for students.” Greenwald, the 6-8 reading specialist and Anti-Bullying coordinator at Garden City Middle School, attended the conference recently held in Arlington, VA with middle school guidance counselor Robyn Weiner and middle school science teacher Melissa Wolk to accept the Schools to Watch (STW) award on behalf of the entire middle school.
While at the conference, the middle school delegation met with Congresswoman McCarthy, hosted a workshop entitled, “Bully Prevention Programs,” attended a variety of workshops and keynote speaker presentations, attended the Schools to Watch Award Banquet, and accepted the middle school’s STW Re-designation Award at a special brunch.
