Welcome to the new Bellmore Patch everybody!
I’m Michael Ganci, your local editor. For my first post on the new site, here’s a quick video introduction that talks about the new features and what we’re calling groups.
Now you can follow groups on Bellmore Patch — centered around topics like Breaking News, Family, Elections, and what’s new from local businesses — and they all update your custom homepage.
Find and follow groups
Anyone can start a group — whether it’s for a hobby, a fun idea to share, a community organization... any topic you want.
Neighbors can even start private groups for planning after-school activities, organizing youth sports teams, running clubs, coordinating get-togethers on your block, and more.
Start your own group
So join in and get started — I can’t wait to see what we come up with!
P.S. We’d love to know what you think of the new Patch. Tell us here.

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
