Golden, Farina salute teachers in southern Brooklyn
More than 40 teachers from public schools in southern Brooklyn were saluted by state Sen. Marty Golden at the lawmaker’s 13th Annual Teacher of the Year awards ceremony recently held in Bay Ridge.
City Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina was on hand to congratulate the winners at the ceremony, which took place in the post theater at the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton. District 20 School Superintendent Karina Costantino, and her counterpart, District 21 Superintendent Isabel DiMola, also attended the event.
At least one teacher from each school in Golden’s senate district was honored. Teachers were nominated by their principals or by their peers for the award. Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southwest Brooklyn) represents a wide swath of southern Brooklyn, including Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, and parts of Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Gerritsen Beach, Manhattan Beach and Marine Park.
