To foster a respectful and kind school community, Gotham Avenue School has introduced the Gotham GOAT Award initiative to reward students for embodying these traits and displaying consistent positive behavior.
Classroom teachers, as well as support staff — including special area teachers in art, physical education, literacy, library, music, ENL, AIS and speech — are all encouraged to nominate students who exemplify the traits of respect, responsibility, cooperation, kindness, honesty and tolerance.
“Our goal is to continually inspire students to be positive role models and to recognize and reward the exceptional students who contribute to our school community,” Assistant Principal Kimberly Farina said.
Throughout the month, staff members quietly observe the students and take note of those going above-and-beyond to help a peer or be respectful to their teachers. Students nominated for the Gotham GOAT Award are announced during the morning announcements at the end of each month, and each student receives a certificate to mark their achievement.
