☆ Tom Porton, Hall of Fame Teacher on a Humanitarian Mission, Dies at 74
  + stars: | 2024-07-30 | by ( Sam Roberts | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Tom Porton’s remit as a teacher at James Monroe High School in the Bronx was English grammar and literature. Mr. Porton died on July 12 at 74 in an assisted living center in the Bronx. No cause was given, but he had been using a wheelchair and an oxygen tank for months, his son, Christopher Porton, said. Mr. Porton’s title at Monroe, coordinator of student affairs, hardly captured his impact. A bearded bear of a man, Mr. Porton was, in 1995, the first New York City teacher inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame.

☆ Ten years after Sandy Hook shooting, Connecticut town spends a day in reflection

[1/8] Dr. Anthony Salvatore, co-president of the Connecticut Federation of School Administrators lays roses on the Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial as part in a wreath laying ceremony hosted by The National Teachers Hall of Fame to mark the 10th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, U.S., December 14, 2022. Wearing a green sweater - the Sandy Hook school color - he walked the memorial, stopping at the names of the children who now would have been 16 and 17. He renewed a call to ban the kind of military-style rifles used in Sandy Hook and many other mass shootings. Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son Daniel was killed at Sandy Hook, is one of several parents who channeled their grief into advocacy. He co-founded Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit that aims to educate teachers and students about warning signs that can be used to identify likely mass shooters.
