Over the last few years, members of the Board of Education and central administration have invited seventh-graders from Grand Avenue Middle School to meet with them and discuss their transition from Shore Road School.

Held prior to the Nov. 18 meeting, the Bellmore alumni shared their current experiences as middle schoolers and offered feedback on areas they felt they were well prepared for, as well as areas they believed the district could improve upon to create a smoother transition from sixth to seventh grade.

To conclude the program, the seventh-graders revealed their favorite memories while elementary students, as well as their favorite teachers during their time in Bellmore.
