School names, award names….. Did you ever wonder about whom a school or an award was named after? For example, everyone knows that the Tony awards were named after someone named Tony or Anthony, and the Emmies probably after someone named Emily.
Welp, I used to teach at George J. Ryan junior high school in Fresh Meadows, Queens, and district 75 awards the coveted M. Samuel Stern award to worthy students every year. It is interesting to think that schools were named after NYC Board of Education administrators….
Do you recognize any other names?
