Working with PS 123 in Harlem
In 2003, I began a partnership with PS 123, an elementary school in Harlem. Since that time, I have helped plan dozens of events with the students, always focused on publishing, literacy and communication. Currently, I am the advisor for their student newspaper and curriculum advisor on publishing & media for their middle school. Check out the newspaper’s website at PS123today.com and their Twitter feed at @PS123today. PS 123 is an amazing community, and I am amazed at the incredible work of the faculty, parents and students.
