From the Desk of Mrs. Bennett, Principal:
Saw Mill Road Elementary School
Welcome to the Saw Mill Road Elementary School! We are one
of six schools in the North Bellmore School District, educating
more than 600 children in grades K-6.
Saw Mill Road School is more than chalkboards, books and
classrooms. We are a community of dedicated people – parents,
students, teachers and staff – all working together to
create a safe, exciting and nurturing environment. Our goal
is to encourage the social, emotional, physical and academic
growth of all of our children. As you walk through our halls, you will observe our fine educational
staff providing an enriched academic program both in classroom
settings and in the area of related arts. Our Media Center
provides opportunities for our children to participate in video-conferencing,
conduct online research, and gather the latest data from the
Saw Mill Weather Station. Walk into the gymnasium and you will
view a physical education program that emphasizes the mind-body
connection. It integrates the academic curriculum through loco-motor
activities and personal fitness challenges. On any given day,
watch our children exploring the chambers of the heart, comparing
their resting and active heart rate, setting volleyballs
or dribbling basketballs. Our music program offers both choral
and instrumental opportunities. Fifth and sixth grade children
may join our chorus, band or strings orchestra. Whether it’s
to the strains of Miles Davis, Bach or the Beatles, children
and teachers alike tap through the school year. Stroll into
one of our art classes and you might find our children studying
the techniques of master artists, creating fine ceramic sculptures,
weaving braids using the ancient method of Kumi Himo or creating
their own original drawings incorporating the principles
and elements of design. Finally, we have a wonderfully active and supportive PTA who
provides programs and activities that enrich our school environment.
From hosting our field day to bringing in entertaining and
educational assemblies, our PTA supports our children and our
staff with heartwarming generosity and enthusiasm. Thank you for visiting our Saw Mill Road School! |
