Bellmore Principal Shows Off New Musical Talent

For the last few years, as an incentive to her students to be successful readers, Winthrop Avenue Principal Sally Curto culminated the Bellmore schools four-week Parents as Reading Parents program with a principal challenge.

The challenge for Curto is to learn something she has never done before and showcase the newly-learned talent in a school-wide assembly. This year, with the assistance of music teacher Erica Davis, she learned to play two songs on the recorder.

The third and fourth-graders at Winthrop completed PARP having read an additional 73,982 minutes with a parent or adult reader at home.
