Larry's Principal For A Day In Queens
Nearly 700 New York City business and civic leaders will officially launch PENCIL partnerships with more than 600 public schools throughout all five boroughs on PENCIL's 14th Annual "Principal For A Day." Larry joins the illustrious group as he helps kicks off the Principal For A Day program at PS 268 in Jamaica, NY to get the real scoop on what goes on in your kids' classroom
The relationship between business and school is a substantive one. Merrill Lynch and PENCIL have been partnered since 2006 to provide students with career awareness opportunity, and to help them feel less sheltered in their Jamaica, Queens community.
So far, they've organized a College Day and a Career Day, led a financial workshop for students based on Merrill Lynch’s “Investing Pays Off” curriculum and hosted students at Merrill Lynch’s offices and the WTC site.
Today, Tonia Bottoms of Merrill Lynch and Michael Haberman of PENCIL are at PS 268 in Jamaica, NY. The school's principal is Lissa Stewart.

This is the bomb. Needed, needed can't say it enough. I'm 29 trying to get it together and make it happen. But one thing I know for sure is programs like this is what keeps kids and teenagers interested and interactive in class. I didn't have to many of these career day's in school, until I did my last year in high school leaving transit tech going into city as school, City as provided classes and internship. Internship w/ different companies and institutions in new york.
This needs to definitely be a program or start to hopefully a bigger program for High School. What happens sometimes is what you wanted to do when you first entered high school may change in your 2nd, 3rd or 4th year. So teens need to be smothered w/ a program like this, at a time when they are finding and changing there interest. So may feel like its a waist of time, they are not going to pay attention. Not true days like this are different from reg classes and believe it or not it is interesting to them
Good segment.
