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.
