Philadelphia Public School Notebook’s 20th Anniversary Gala
Celebrating two decades of covering our public schools.
Tuesday as the weather raged outside, inside the University of the Arts the Philadelphia Public School Notebook celebrated its 20th anniversary with a party. The Notebook started out as a handout at supermarkets and community meetings, one chock-full of information on what was going on in the city’s public schools, how the school board was dealing with issues, and what concerned parents and community members could do.
These days it’s grown into a full-blown, highly respected journal which the public relies on for information on the education of children in Philadelphia. Even though schools superintendent William Hite has been the target of criticism in some of the articles written in The Notebook, he still took time out of his schedule to make an appearance at the party, and wish them well on their continued success.
