On Tuesday, May 7th, ADL Albany recognized 66 schools from the Capital Region as No Place For Hate® schools, honoring their commitment to school climate improvement, bullying prevention and anti-bias education for the 2018-2019 school year.
Neil Golub presents the first ever Neil and Jane Golub Making a Difference Award to Isabella Sementilli
The recognition ceremony, held at Shenendehowa High School East, hosted over 500 students and educators who participated in the No Place Hate® program at their school and honored those who embodied this year’s theme, “This is Me.” Inspiring and captivating speeches were given by our three Gold Star Student Award winners as well as the first ever student winner of the Neil and Jane Golub Making a Difference Award, Isabella Sementilli.
The Jane Golub Gold Star Educator Award recognizes educators who have gone above and beyond expectations in the implementation of No Place for Hate in their schools.
The ceremony also featured the renaming of ADL’s award for educators in honor of the late Jane Golub, who was a longtime supporter and friend. The Jane Golub Gold Star Educator Award, will recognize educators who have gone above and beyond expectations in the implementation of No Place for Hate in their schools. The recipient of this years inaugural award was Diane Blinn from Mohonasen High School.
Additionally, the Albany office announced a new partnership with Passport For Good, a digital tool for tracking and verifying community service, career development, participation and learning. This means, that as an affiliate with the platform, ADL program hours can now be tracked via the application for students to then share with Colleges, Universities or and job opportunities.
We are extremely grateful for the MC talent of Jack Lamson of CBS 6 as well as the student performers from Circleville Middle School and Niskayuna High School.
Thank you to our sponsors Frito Lay, The Neil and Jane Golub Foundation, Price Chopper Supermarkets, Market32, CBS6 and iSmile Studios for their generous contributions. Without all of you, this wouldn’t be possible!
