Welcome to Newbridge Road Elementary School, established 1924. 

As you may know, 2024 has been an exciting year for the Newbridge Road Elementary School community. Our beautiful building has served this community for 100 years. This milestone was marked with a joyous Centennial Celebration in the spring of 2024. I was fortunate enough to be part of the momentous event. 

While uncovering the rich history of Newbridge Road School, it became clear that this school has been, and will remain, a cornerstone in North Bellmore. It became clear that the mission and core values of those who came before us mirror our current mission and core values. It became clear that whenever it was or for however long it was, those people who have been a part of Newbridge’s history and Newbridge’s community, have been deeply impacted by their experiences here. At Newbridge Road, we welcome all children and all families to our learning community so that they may grow and flourish together. 

Being part of the Newbridge Road School community means taking pride in who you are, where you come from, how you treat others, and what you represent; it means demonstrating Newbridge HEART at all times. At Newbridge Road School, we value Honesty, Empathy, Acceptance, Respect, and Teamwork. All members of our school community- parents, students, teachers, staff and administrators, aim to demonstrate HEART so that our community will continue to thrive for at least another 100 years.

 

With HEART,

Amanda Licci

There were drawings, paintings, sculptures and mixed media projects on display, created by students from kindergarten through sixth grade. The work was a sampling of projects created throughout the school year and showcased the various artistic techniques students have learned.

It will be a couple of years before the soon-to-be graduates of the North Bellmore School District are circling the halls of Mepham High School, but on May 20, they got to circle the track. Students from all five elementary schools gathered on the sunny spring day for the annual sixth grade track meet.

The event, which was coordinated by the physical education teachers, featured a mix of short- and long-distance races. It ranged from 50 meters to 800 meters, which was two full laps around the track. After four-person relay races, the day concluded with field events such as discus, javelin, long jump and shot put.

Students wore their school Class of 2024 shirts. In just a few months, they will be unified under one roof at Grand Avenue Middle School, and the track meet was an opportunity to meet their future classmates.
