There is going to be a screening of the documentary “Sick School” about the elementary school in Bellport. It is going to be at the Cinema Arts Center in Huntington this Thursday March 14 at 7:30 p.m. 


The Concerned Parents group from Middleville will be going and so will John Kobel. We have been asked to speak after the showing along with the Bellport parents and teachers.


They have over 50 people going and more are signing up to go. Cost is $15.00/ticket.  It would be great if we could get some support from our retired people, specially those who have gotten sick.
