Blue Point Elementary School To Celebrate 90th Anniversary

BLUE POINT, NY - The Bayport-Blue Point School District is preparing to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the original dedication of Blue Point Elementary School.

In honor of the anniversary, the school district has planned a commemorative community celebration on Friday, Oct. 25. The event will take place at the school on 212 Blue Point Avenue from 3:45 p.m. to 5 p.m.

During the school day, students, honored guests and local officials will officially commemorate the occasion with an in-school assembly program.

All residents, alumni and friends from near and far are invited to join in on the celebration after school which will feature a museum walk down memory lane, filled with some never-before-seen treasures from the school’s rich history.

In addition, to add to the collection of historical memorabilia with help of local historians, the district is looking for donations from community residents, alumni and friends to help increase the size of a walking museum that is planned for the event.

Anyone looking to donate old photos, news articles or anything specially connected to Blue Point Elementary School throughout the years is encouraged to contact Melissa Weinstein at 472-7860 ext. 8001.
