Bellmore School Board Candidate: Maryanne Kelly

She's served on the board for the past three years.

For the past three years I have served on the Bellmore Board Of Education as a trustee and am currently the Vice President.

I rely on my past and current experiences for making good decisions for the school and the community.

Bellmore has been my home for 20 years. I have been a member of the Bellmore PTA for the past 12 years. During that time I have served on and have chaired numerous committees. I am also part of the Bellmore Preservation Group, a group dedicated to the Bellmore area and it's residents. For the past three years I have been on the IACUC committee at Hofstra University.

Recently, I spearheaded and was the contact person to Nassau County and The Town Of Hempstead for resolving the flooding of homes, due to storm run-off, south of Sunrise Highway. I continue to be involved in many ongoing community projects.

I graduated from Cornell University with a degree in education. I taught biology and animal science at the high school level for the N.Y. City school system. I then worked for Merck Pharmaceuticals as one of their Long Island representatives.

My husband Matt and I have three children who attended the Bellmore School District. Kathleen is a freshman in college, Matthew is a sophomore at Kellenberg Memorial High School and Colm a 7th grader at Grand Ave. Middle School.

These experiences I take with me into every board meeting. I look forward to continuing work with my fellow board members, administration, staff, community and the children of Bellmore.
