Downing Celebrates "Good Choices" and Ethical Leaders at May Awards Ceremony
On May 22, the Maurice W. Downing community gathered for a wonderful morning of celebration at our monthly awards ceremony, honoring students who consistently lead by example.
This month, the WE CAN Awards recognized students who make excellent choices every day, while the Portrait of Success Awards honored those who exemplify being Ethical—a key pillar of the Malverne Portrait of a Graduate. Our May honorees were proudly celebrated for demonstrating honesty, kindness, fairness and a commitment to always doing what is right.
Adding to the excitement of the morning, our spectacular second grade Glee Club took the stage. Led by music teacher Ms. Wowk, the young performers filled the room with joy and energy, delivering beautiful and uplifting renditions of "I Like To Sing" and the powerful anthem "This Is Me."
The monthly ceremony beautifully highlights our district's vision of aligning student success with strong character growth. Congratulations to all of our exceptional May honorees—you make the entire Malverne family incredibly proud!
