Innovative Use of Cable in the Classroom Award to Time Warner Cable

Time Warner Cable of New York City was presented with a 2001 Gilbert Award for Community Service for Innovative Use of Cable in the Classroom by a New York Educator in a statewide competition that recognizes outstanding community service programs conducted by cable television companies in New York.

Laraine Mirabile, an educator at Public School 5 in Staten Island, used programming pertaining to Afghanistan and the September 11th tragedy on CNN and Nickelodeon to motivate students to write letters to the rescue workers at Ground Zero. A New York City Firefighter, Mark Solari, received the letters and began working with Mirabile to coordinate a school wide project to benefit the children of the Staten Island victims of this disaster. Students gathered teddy bears and wrote letters of support for the children. Members of the PS 56 PTA, firefighters and police officers distributed the teddy bears.

“Time Warner Cable was proud to nominate Mirabile for a Gilbert Community Service Award for her exemplary use of Cable in the Classroom,” stated Harriet Novet, Vice President, Public Affairs, Time Warner Cable of New York City. “Not only is Cable in the Classroom a vital teaching tool, she used this resource to inspire her students to make a difference in their community.”

Each year, an independent panel of judges representing the Governor’s Office, the New York State Assembly and Senate, and New York State Conference of Mayors selects the Gilbert Award winners. For more information, visit www.cabletvny.com .#
