On Tuesday, October 8, 2013, Partnership with Children
hosted their 11th Annual
Wine Tasting entitled A Taste of the Good Life at Midtown
Loft & Terrace. The benefit evening featured delicious
culinary fares from NYC’s top restaurants including Dos
Caminos and Asellina paired with wines from some of the
world’s top vineyards. Event Chair Stefan
Zellmer and
Partnership with Children’s Board President Patricia
Soussloff welcomed
over 100 supporters including Maggie
Norris, Ian Broadwater, Bill Tucker, Lelle Henrichsen, Leesa
Rowland and Larry
Wohl. The
night also included a silent auction featuring wines donated
by merchants including Empire
State Cellars and ACME Fine
Wines.
The night benefited Partnership with Children, which brings
teams of Masters-level social workers into the most
underserved public schools in NYC to provide counseling and
classroom interventions for students at the highest risk of
academic failure and dropout.
Partnership with Children’s model is based on decades of
experience, careful evaluation and trail-blazing in the
field of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), which develops
specific skills crucial to a child’s academic, personal,
social and civic development. Their programs increase
student attendance and on-task behavior, improve teachers’
classroom management skills, reduce school violence and
suspensions, engage families in their children’s education,
and allow principals to spend less time on discipline and
more time on academic instruction, ultimately changing the
culture of the school.
