Big Apple Teacher Nominees

patelfers

Our chorus teacher Ms. Shikowitz and our math teacher Ms. Soberman had the opportunity to see a live taping of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week. They were invited because they are both finalists in in the Big Apple Awards. They were nominated by our school community, then had to submit essays, recommendations, and a video interview. Finally, they were observed in March by outside DOE administrators. Thank you to Ms. Soberman’s students who nominated her, and to Halsey parent Tanessa Cabe, who nominated Ms. Shikowitz. *Fun fact: Ms. Shikowitz and Ms. Soberman are NOT the same person! They are often confused for each other by students, staff, and parents 😊
