“Good Citizens” Abound at Gotham Avenue School

Ten students who display
the characteristics of model good citizens were nominated by their
teachers and the student council as Gotham Avenue School’s “Good
Citizens of the Month” for October/November.
“They are
cooperative, good natured and positive role models,” said Assistant to
the Principal Dennis Cowan as he presented the elite group with Good
Citizen Certificates and bumper stickers for their proud parents to
display.
Good
Citizenship is one part of Gotham Avenue School’s Character Education
Curriculum. A new goal from the curriculum is introduced each week to
the school’s 700 students. Messages are reinforced daily through
morning announcements that reach the entire student body as well as
faculty.
Honorees for
“Good Citizens of the Month” are selected under the coordination of
Principal Marshall Zucker; Cowan and a council committee. Many of the
students selected are teacher helpers or frequently tutor their peers
while demonstrating well-rounded behavior and citizenship.
As well as
meeting the school’s character education goals, students also begin to
learn their roles as citizens and what it means to be a good citizen
in the classroom, school, home, and community — an important part of
the New York State Social Studies learning standards.

The mission

partnership with the community, the district holds its students to the
highest standards while maintaining one of the lowest per-pupil
expenditures in Nassau County.
