NEW ROCHELLE, NY — George M. Davis, Jr. Elementary School opened its door to students today with a new principal and a new assistant principal at the helm, bringing excitement and energy to the new school year.
Anthony Bambrola, principal, and Laurie Marinaro, assistant principal, were at the front doors of Davis to greet students as they poured into the school. Inside, they fielded questions from parents about assigned teachers, lunch calendars, bus lists and dismissal times.
“I’m very excited to be at Davis and call it home. One great part about our leadership team is that Laurie is a New Rochelle girl. She went to school here, she knows the community well,” said Bambrola. “Our goals are simple. It’s building relationships and keeping the momentum going.”
Though Bambrola’s assignment as principal is new, he isn’t new to Davis. He served as assistant principal last year, a job Marinaro took over this year after having worked at the two middle schools.
For Marinaro, who has been with the district for 20 years, elementary school is the place to be. “This is where the excitement begins. This is where you ignite the spirit of learning,” she said.
