One breath at a time, Shore Road’s Shining Star Leaders cleared their minds to mark Health and Safety Week from Oct. 20-24. In Mrs. Neu’s sixth grade class, peers practiced mindful breathing exercises, using their finger to trace different shapes like stars, triangles and an infinity symbol. Students breathed in, held their breath and slowly released, finding which method works best for them. #IgnitetheStarsWithin #StarsLeadandLearn


At this month’s board meeting, Winthrop’s Aquarium Leaders explained their daily tasks in taking care of the school’s fish. Each morning, they carefully observe the tank and keep records of the number of fish and the water temperature, track the tank’s cleanliness and feed the fish. When it’s time for a new group of students to take up the role, the current Aquarium Leaders train the incoming team! #IgnitetheStarsWithin #StarsLeadandLearn

The teachers of Reinhard Early Childhood Center took on the roles of SpongeBob and friends for the annual Pep Rally, much to the excitement of the building’s students!
“SpongeBob and the Leadership Adventure” – an original story crafted and scripted by Reinhard teachers – followed the residents of “Reinhard Bottom” as they joined together to recover King Neptune’s crown and the Special Leadership Star, which were stolen by Plankton. Along the journey, the characters learned lessons related to Bellmore’s Core Values and Leadership Principles, such as respect, dedication, being proactive and thinking win-win. Throughout the show, students in the audience participated by singing songs led by music teacher Joanna Rocco. #StarsLeadandLearn #IgnitetheStars

Winning Star students at Winthrop Avenue School are collaborating on a meaningful legacy project titled “Ignite the Stars Within.” Guided by ceramic artist Cathy Russell, each student is crafting a unique clay piece that will become part of a larger, collective work of wall art. Inspired by the vibrant style of renowned artist Romero Britto, the final piece will incorporate our Core Values and feature symbolic shapes such as stars, circles and hearts - a celebration of creativity, synergy and the light within every student. #IgnitetheStarsWithin #StarsLeadandLearn
