For me, that sign suggests an image of a simpler, more peaceful time. It suggests a time when communities were small and close knit; a time when families and educators worked together to instill basic values of academic mastery, respectful behavior, and strong character in our children.

I suggest that we look at this concept with a different understanding. As you know, Park Pride stands for Warm, Nurturing and Challenging. When a school environment embodies interesting lessons that enrich, within a positive climate which dignifies all children's efforts, you have something special. This type of classroom/school focuses upon what can be achieved, and naturally eliminates the negative stereotype of discipline which many of us grew up with. However, this is not to say that we accept bullying, throwing food in the cafeteria or hitting. 1599 Park Avenue North Merrick NY 11566 (516) 992 3000 Saw Mill Road Elementary School (North Bellmore Public Schools) (K-6) Saw Mill Road School is more than chalkboards, books and classrooms.
