A group of smiling children stand behind a table with canned goods and food items, holding up donations. A bulletin board behind them reads “Reading will take you everywhere.” The scene is cheerful and supportive.
Fourth grade Winthrop Winning Star Leaders mirrored the teachings and messages of Martin Luther King Jr. through an eye-catching creation. They read the book “Martin’s Big Words” and selected an inspirational quote. They created stained glass crafts, reflecting the diverse society Dr. King advocated for. The projects are hung from their classroom window alongside their quote reflections.

Bellmore Stars in Action

We are so proud of and thankful for Reinhard teacher Ms. Hoffman, who calmly and quickly administered aid to a student who was choking. Our nursing staff, Toni Costa and Jenna Maini, immediately lent their support.

Moments like this remind us how important preparation is. Each year at the start of the school year, our nurses provide safety and emergency response training for our staff, ensuring everyone is ready to act when it matters most.

This is Star Leadership in action.
