North Bellmore students hit the books

Posted

More than 2,000 children laced up their sneakers and put on their backpacks for the first day of school in North Bellmore on Sept. 3. The five elementary schools were full of excitement, with administrators, faculty and staff warmly greeting students as they arrived on the bright, sunny morning for the start of the 2024-25 school year.

Parents snapped back-to-school pictures at photo stations at each school, then youngsters went inside to find their classrooms. They sat down at their desks with fresh nametags, unpacked supplies and shared summer stories.

At Park Avenue Elementary School, new principal Lynn Coyle was eager to meet her students for the first time. Across town at Saw Mill Road Elementary School, Principal Jeffrey Rosof helped guide students to their classrooms in the district’s largest building.
