Sitting there in the bleechers, Principal Green, AP Ms. Colón, and a group of teachers, parents and classmates, were all very proud of the way our boys hung in there until the final buzzer in a heartpounding one point game.

Unfortunately, the other team was able to edge us out in the closing seconds.

Final score: PS 83 – 24, PS 208 – 23

The boys worked extraordinarily hard, but we have to hand it to PS 83 for putting up a valiant effort and hanging in there with us the whole game.  Ultimately making their final push at the very end of the second half.

As for our own Locke’s Lions, we will have a focused off-season and come back next year knowing exaclty what our goal is, the championship trophy for the Harlem JV Basketball League!bballimage2

Ms. Green requested that PENCIL couple her with a business partner who could create a new identity for her school, and Kara responded to that request. Together, they garnered a wide variety of media coverage , developed a new school logo and social marketing platform. The platform includes this blog and twitter, and will increase communication between teachers, parents and students, as well as businesses, elected officials and other members of the local community.

PENCIL, the nonprofit organization that develops innovative solutions to the challenges confronting public schools by creating partnerships between business leaders and principals, today held its 2008-2009 Year-end Partnership Celebration. Sponsored by long-time supporter JPMorgan Chase, the event marked the accomplishments of more than 450 PENCIL Partnerships during the school year, and honored several standout partners with three inaugural awards for “Emerging,” “Innovative,” and “Veteran” PENCIL Partnerships.

The other two awards given:

The 2008-2009 Innovative Partnership of the Year Award was given to Principal Christopher Ogno of PS 247, The New York City College Partnership Elementary School in Brooklyn and Partner Ivy Cohen, President of Ivy Cohen Corporate Communications.

The 2008-09 Veteran Partnership Award was given to Principal Rima Ritholtz of PS 176X in the Bronx and Justin Israel of Channel 13 WNET/21 WLIW. With a student body of more than 570 autistic pre-K to 12th graders, PS 176X in the Bronx called upon the veteran experience of PENCIL Partners Rima Ritholtz, Principal of PS176X and business partner Justin Israel, Senior Patron Advisor at Channel 13 WNET/21, to develop programs that would offer critical support to the students’ parents.

Congratulations to my fellow Principals and their PENCIL Partners for their achievements this year and our commitment to the children of New York City!
