Allison Glickman-Rogers, principal of Oceanside Middle School, will be honored with the Oceanside Kiwanis Club’s Special Service Award on Oct. 16 at the organization’s 80th anniversary Charter and Installation Dinner Dance. The installation of officers will be held at Temple Avodah, at 7:30 p.m., and the dinner and cocktail hour will begin at 6:30 p.m. For nearly two decades in Oceanside, Glickman-Rogers has been an advocate of what she calls the “middle level” philosophy — a model of schooling that emphasizes “relationshipbuilding, developmentally appropriate instruction and structures” that make a large building feel small.
“This kind of recognition belongs to our entire school community, because I couldn’t do what I do here without the overwhelming support for middle-level education that we have here in this district,” she said. Glickman-Rogers is in her 19th year at the middle school. Her career began at Hofstra University, and it has taken her to the Lynbrook school district, where she taught phys. ed. and health, and to assistant principal positions in Port Washington and at Oceanside Middle School. She served as principal at School Five for a year before returning to the middle school as principal in 2010. “There is no stronger advocate for our young adolescent students than Dr. GlickmanRogers,” said Oceanside Superintendent PhylCOntinued On PAGe 5
