Bellmore Schools Reveals New Reinhard Principal

After an extensive search, the Bellmore School District announced that Patricia Castine will be the new principal at the Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center once Clifford Molinelli retires at school year's end.

Castine was an elementary school teacher in the North Babylon School District before she took the reigns as assistant principal in the Kings Park School District. Most recently, she was an elementary school principal in the Lindenhurst School District.

"We’re going to miss Mr. Molinelli very much, but I am pleased to announce that we’ve found our new principal," Superintendent Dr. Joseph Famularo said. 

Castine got her degree in School Administration from Long Island University C.W. Post, and she also got her Master's Degree in Reading Education.

"We look forward to Ms. Castine joining us," Famularo added.

Castine said that she's looking forward to working with the students, teachers and staff throughout the Bellmore School District.

"I’m very excited to join a very friendly team," Castine said. “I’m definitely a team player. I like to work collaboratively, and most of all, I absolutely love children."
