Congratulations, GSters!
I would like to add that while the award was in the “IIIB Blogs” category, that alone doesn’t give half enough credit for all the incredible REPORTING you do as well. Call it my “credit recovery” plan for GothamSchools.
Best,
Michael D. Markowitz, P.E.P.S. Any coverage of this award by the local press… that you all so generously plug — and indirectly financially support? After all, when we “click thru,” those sites get to tell their advertisers how well they counted eyeballs, no? (Off to hold my breath for a few hours.)
