by Philissa Cramer It’s never a dull day at Tweed Courthouse: This afternoon, the French ambassador will visit to knight four city principals. The four principals — Gisele Gault McGee of PS 58 in Brooklyn, Jean-Victor Mirvil of PS 73 in the Bronx, Robin Sundick of PS 84 in Manhattan, and Shimon Waronker of IS 22 in the Bronx — all head schools that have French-English dual-language programs. They’re being inducted at 3 p.m. into the Order of Academic Palms, which Napoleon founded to honor educators. The official insignia of the order is at right. http://gothamschools.org/2009/10/20/france-to-dub-four-school-leaders-principal-knight/
