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

Principal

ALPHA Young Engineers Build Bridges of Fright

ALPHA Young Engineers Build Bridges of Fright  thumbnail262109

It was a spooky sight in the ALPHA classroom at Newbridge Road Elementary School, where fifth graders worked collaboratively on their bone bridges. Teacher Laura Conway put a Halloween twist on an engineering challenge for students in the district’s enrichment program.

Each group was tasked with building the longest bridge they could with the provided materials. Their supplies included a piece of cardboard, pipe cleaners, Q-tips, wooden craft sticks and masking tape.

Ms. Conway said the goal was for them to maximize their resources to get as much length out of each bridge. It couldn’t just lay flat – it had to be supported to rise above the floor or desk. Before building, each group had to come up with a plan. Just as important to the success of the project as their engineering knowledge, she explained, was the ability to work together and listen to each other’s ideas.

In addition to themed units and long-term projects, third through sixth graders in the ALPHA program complete seasonal engineering challenges throughout the year. Students get to work in partnership with peers from other schools in the district while strengthening their critical thinking, communication and problem-solving abilities.

At their first meeting of the year, members of the student council at Newbridge Road Elementary School were talking of ideas for their first service project of the year and the answer was clear. They launched a hurricane relief drive, which runs through Oct. 28, to collect a variety of supplies.

The items will be contributed to a larger drive sponsored by the Town of Hempstead and then give to Relief Drive for America. All donations will benefit residents of North Carolina and Florida affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Among the items that the student council is collecting include baby items, cleaning supplies, first aid supplies, flashlights, garbage bags, paper goods, pet food, socks and toiletries. There are large donation boxes throughout the school and student council officers have been spreading the word among their classmates, in addition to make daily announcements.

Football Fanatics Compete in Punt, Pass, Kick Finals

The 38 students who gathered on the back field of Saw Mill Road Elementary School on Oct. 22 had one thing in common – some pretty good football skills. The North Bellmore School District held the final round of its Punt, Pass, Kick competition, an annual event hosted by the physical education department.  

With sunny skies and temperatures that felt more appropriate for NFL training camp than middle of the season, the young athletes were thrilled to be outdoors and bonding with fellow football lovers. Two long rulers were set up on the turf field to measure, in feet, the distance each football traveled.  

Students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades competed in preliminary rounds at their schools, with the boys and girls winners from each grade earning a spot in the district championship. The young athletes then had their final chance in the three skills events – dropping and punting the football, throwing it down the field and kicking it off a tee. Each student was then able to redo one of those events to try and earn a higher score. 

At the end, the districtwide boys and girls winners were crowned in each grade level. Gabriel Guerriero and Vivienne Ferrie were tops in fourth grade, Brody Hislop and Maya Aruti were the fifth grade winners and Chase Almona and Vittoria DeMarco paced the sixth graders. They received trophies while runners up were awarded medals.  

The event was coordinated by physical education teachers James Breslin, Bill Green, Jim Mulvey, Anthony Novello, Alyssa Parker and Michael Wiener, as well as retired P.E. teacher Tom Steinmuller.

Leadership opportunities are aplenty for sixth graders at Newbridge Road Elementary School. Principal Amanda Licci met with the entire sixth grade class on Sept. 26 to discuss ways they can make a difference as the student leaders of the school.

Among the activities available to them are Beautification Club, Junior Librarian, Students Against Destructive Decisions, student council and intramural sports. Ms. Licci also introduced them to three clubs that she advises, which offer a greater leadership role.

Spirit Club members have an active role in the school’s monthly spirit assemblies. Students in the Smile Club spend time with younger peers during recess, playing games, reading together and getting to know one another.

A new opportunity this year is the Café Club. Sixth graders will be able to take on a leadership role to keep lunchtime orderly, using the microphone to make announcements such as when it's time to buy snack or line up for recess. Because sixth graders have lunch together with fourth graders, this will allow them to set an example for the school’s up-and-coming leaders. The inaugural members of the Café Club will also be asked to contribute their ideas on other ways to take on leadership roles during lunch.

Ms. Licci provided sixth graders with applications for the three clubs, with space to explain why they should be chosen. She noted that students must demonstrate the core tenets of the “Newbridge has HEART” motto – honesty, empathy, acceptance, respect and teamwork.

Ms. Licci said that these various clubs prepare students for the greater leadership roles they can take on in middle school and beyond, while also developing lifelong skills.

“Our goal is for students to take ownership of their learning environment,” she said. “In our mission to grow the whole child, we want to provide them with opportunities to direct their energy in a positive way and make an impact on the school community and other students.”
