The Mighty Girls have made their way to Amagansett.

Girl Scout Troop 596, led by Marit Molin, have given some Bratz dolls a makeover in the style of Mighty Dolls, a 2015 project by Wendy Tsao, an artist.

According to the toy retailer AMightyGirl.com, Ms. Tsao wanted to give girls dolls that more resembled real female role models, so she removed the Bratz dolls’ signature wild makeup and sewed more realistic clothing for them to create dolls in the image of women such as Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist, Jane Goodall, the scientist, and Roberta Bondar, the astronaut.

The Amagansett Girl Scout troop did the same to make what they dubbed Mighty Girls. They used nail polish remover to take off the dolls’ makeup and replaced their uber-trendy outfits with clothes they designed themselves. They made their Mighty Girls in the likenesses of Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Mia Hamm, the professional soccer player, and Celia Cruz, the salsa singer, among others.

“By studying what personality traits and work habits these famous women used to achieve their goals, we can then apply them to our own lives so that we can be successful, too,” said Natalie Mongan, a troop member.

In memory of two much-loved members of the John M. Marshall Elementary School community, school officials on Friday dedicated the newly revamped outdoor science classroom to Queen Davis Parks and Helen Hayes. Ms. Parks, who died in 2011, was a teacher; Ms. Hayes, who also died in 2011, a custodian.

The entire student body gathered in the courtyard at the new classroom to watch the ceremonies. The school unveiled a new birdbath surrounded by just-planted flowers, and a plaque honoring Ms. Hayes and Ms. Parks “for their dedication to our school, our students, and our community.”

“We are so proud to honor Queen Davis Parks and Helen Hayes, and to cherish their memory by attaching their names to this beautiful outdoor learning space,” Beth Doyle, the school principal, said.

Friends and family members of Ms. Davis and Ms. Parks joined the students and school officials. Olivia Brooks, a former school librarian and a friend of Ms. Parks, called her “a no-nonsense teacher who loved the creative process” and fought hard for children of all backgrounds. Her re-enactment of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad will not be forgotten, she said.

“Queen was a loving woman as well as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, and teacher,” Ms. Brooks said. “Her generosity and kindness stretched to all corners of our community and especially to her students at John Marshall school. She loved each and every one of them.”

Anthony Hayes, John Marshall’s head custodian, who is a nephew of both Ms. Hayes and Ms. Parks, thanked the school on behalf of the Hayes family and said he was “honored and appreciative” of the occasion and the memorial to his aunt.

“She was a wonderful wife, a great mother, and just an incredible human being,” Mr. Hayes said. “She had a heart of gold, and anyone who came in contact with her would know that right away.”

The outdoor classroom has a rain barrel to collect water for gardening, and raised garden beds for growing plants. A circle of tree stumps serves as seats for classes that use the outdoor space for lessons related to weather, botany, and more. The dedication was the idea of the school’s Culture Club. East End Trophy provided the plaque, Charlie Whitmore and Sons provided the flowers and plants and did the planting, and Wittendale’s donated the birdbath.

The Springs School District is proposing using $100,000 from a reserve fund to complete some building repair work and will hold the necessary public hearing during Monday’s school board meeting at 7 p.m. in the school library.

The district would use the money for repairing windows and light fixtures, replacing some doors and alarm panels, and upgrading the school’s boiler. Carl Fraser, the district’s interim business administrator, called these items “very critical to health and safety.” School officials included them in the 2016-17 school budget and planned on using this $100,000 as revenue during their budget development process to take care of the cost, so there would be no burden on taxpayers.

“If there was no offsetting revenue source, the $100,000 would have resulted in a tax levy increase which would have exceeded the tax cap,” Mr. Fraser said in an email.

If the board approves the use of the money, there will be $587,588 left in the reserve.

The Bridgehampton School is the official tenant of two tiny plots of land that comprise the farm stand just east of the school after the district signed leases last week.

One parcel is owned by the Babinski family and the other is managed by the Hampton Classic on behalf of several owners. Both were leased to the Small Potato Nursery for many years until it was determined that the selling of Christmas trees and topiary not grown there was not permitted according to Southampton Town zoning rules. The lease on the Babinski property will cost $3,000 per year; the other is coming free of charge. The district signed three-year leases on both.

Judiann Carmack-Fayyaz and Jeff Neubauer, two teachers, have plans to lead an agribusiness program for students based on a pick-your-own-bouquet sale of flowers that will be grown there. David Falkowski, a local farmer, has said he plans to help out. The two teachers are also seeking community volunteers and donations to supplement the $6,000 that Paddlers for Humanity pledged for a new shed.

All that remains before the Bridgehampton students can begin using the plots this summer is approval from the New York State Education Department, which is expected within a couple of weeks, according to Ms. Carmack-Fayyaz.

“It’s very exciting,” she said. “We’re going slowly, because the Department of Education said this is the first time that they’re seeing this. I don’t think another school has done this in quite the same way. It’s very cool.”

The students are trying to come up with a name for the business. They have rejected Cool Beans, Farmasea, Sprouts, and the Patch.

“It is a work in progress, and we are hopeful that it can become a real program of value,” Lois Favre, Bridgehampton’s superintendent, said in an email. “We appreciate the generosity of the Babinskis and the Hampton Classic, as well as Paddlers for Humanity . . . in supporting our innovative ideas.

Families Painting Landscapes

The Books Battle Is Joined

The East Hampton Library is recruiting fifth through eighth graders for its Battle of the Books team. Participants can learn more about the Suffolk County interlibrary competition at a meeting on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.

Teens who have volunteered at the library this year will be celebrated at a party after library hours on Friday, June 10, from 5 to 7 p.m., when they’ll have the library all to themselves.

Next Thursday’s family movie at the library is “Matilda,” which will be shown at 4 p.m.

Certain items included as part of a construction project at Pierson Middle and High School, which was approved by public referendum in 2013, were said on Tuesday, during a meeting of the Sag Harbor School Board, not to be in the cards after all, including a loss of five parking places at Pierson where plans called for a gain of that many. Board members questioned whether the scope of the work has changed without the knowledge of the board or the public.

The New York State Education Department took about a year and a half to approve the plans, during which time inflation raised the initial cost estimates substantially. That in turn meant that certain components had to be characterized as “add-ons” — able to be built only if money was left over after the main work was completed.

The problem is there won’t be any money left for them, said Katy Graves, the superintendent.

But Chris Tice, the Sag Harbor School Board vice president, insisted that some of the items had been presented to the public as definitely included. Besides the five parking spots, a lighting and sound booth was to have been installed on the balcony level of the Pierson auditorium, which is undergoing a complete overhaul. Larry Salvesen of BBS Architects and Engineers, the district’s architectural firm, told the board on Tuesday that the booths would instead be separated and installed on two levels.

“We should have been a little more aware. Part of the problem was that it happened so long ago and there was so much time in between,” Susan Kinsella, the school board president, said by phone yesterday. “When it was being proposed to us, they said we could gain some parking spaces in the front. It was a big deal. That was a concern to me because the board actually had to vote on that.”

If a piece of the overall project was submitted to the state for approval, Ms. Tice said, “We assumed it was going to happen . . . nothing was labeled ‘alternate’ ” or add-on, she said. “It was not discussed that way at the board meetings.”

“After we had all the public discussions and the board discussions . . . there was a design phase that I don’t think was fully vetted with the board,” Theresa Samot, a board member, said during the meeting.

Mr. Salveson responded that large-scale projects are not normally fully designed before being submitted to voters for approval; rather, the final details are worked out later.

“I’m sure two years ago I did come and talk to you about this,” he said. “As we went through design and development, it was fully available to everyone for general knowledge, because we knew how sensitive it was.”

The discussion seemed to peak when Mr. Salveson unveiled the full design for the auditorium, with a maritime theme and color palette honoring Sag Harbor’s history as a port town. While the board agreed the design was beautiful, some asked that the school colors of red and black be incorporated. Mr. Salvesen replied that the fabric for seat covers and other design components would have to be ordered very soon, and warned that any time spent on redesign could delay the auditorium part of the project.

With regard to some of the add-ons that the boards considers too important to safety to be eliminated, such as fixing a railing outside the elementary school and adding a sidewalk along the Atlantic Avenue parking lot, Ms. Graves said “there are resources to do what’s best for children.” Money may also be available to add lighting to the bus parking lot on Grand Avenue, which was requested by the bus drivers but which is also now on the add-ons list.

The discussion began with a public hearing earlier in the meeting, during which school administrators proposed using $645,000 from the district’s repair reserve fund to supplement the construction work. Following the hearing, the school board voted to award a $1.091 million contract for site repairs to Laser Industries Inc. That sum includes the $645,000 from the repair reserve, which will leave less than $3,000 in the reserve fund. Officials anticipate replenishing it with $500,000 from a projected surplus in the operating budget at the end of the current school year.

Also at the meeting, board members resolved to ask the New York State Legislature to enact a local law allowing the public to vote on a change of use for money raised in a November 2013 bond referendum for the synthetic turf field. While the field had support at that time, and continues to have support among some in the community, a large group of parents has petitioned the district to abandon the turf idea and opt for a natural grass field instead.­

They stitched seams, hemmed skirts, and sewed buttons with all the energy and expertise of enthusiastic novices, often complimenting each other’s work and sometimes making mistakes, but mostly chatting about the things one might expect from 16 high school girls: class projects, after-school plans, and who texted who about what.

The May 25 sewing session was the seventh in an eight-week workshop in which girls from East Hampton High School and Pierson High School learned the craft from Kathryn Reid of Springs, owner of SewHampton, and Nancy Nano of Nancy’s Tailoring and Alterations in Noyac. Their efforts were all for a good cause: Ms. Reid and Ms. Nano volunteered to teach and supervise the girls, who then used their new skills to make clothing that will be sold and modeled at an upcoming fashion show to support causes that raise awareness about illnesses that affect children.

After about an hour and a half, the cheerful atmosphere in the room changed. The girls packed away their projects, readied themselves for something more serious, and gathered around a table where Jenny Carmona, an East Hampton mom, set up a laptop with photos that documented her 9-month-old son’s struggle with hip dysplasia. Ms. Carmona explained how she taught herself how to sew when she couldn’t find clothes that would fit her son because of his medical condition.

“Being a parent of a kid who is going through something like this, sometimes you feel alone,” she said. “It’s a very hard process. You have to make everything completely different for a baby with hip dysplasia.”

The eight-week workshop wasn’t just about teaching sewing; it was also to teach the girls about medical conditions such as lupus, juvenile arthritis, and more. Each week featured a discussion about a different medical issue.

“I think this is such a good cause,” Caroline Heredia, a ninth-grader at East Hampton High School, said between stitches. “I feel like I’m doing something instead of just staying home. I don’t worry that I could be hanging out with friends or playing a sport, because I enjoy this.”

“Sewing was something I wanted to learn,” said Julianna Vargas, another East Hampton ninth grader. “It feels like I’ve accomplished something. I know people with disabilities around me, and I think it’s important to help them feel beautiful and normal, and to raise awareness for conditions that many people don’t know about.”

Ms. Reid said the girls’ work ethic “is terrific, and they seem like they’re having fun. . . . It’s been a real pleasure to work with everybody.” She supplied her machines free of charge for the workshop.

The benefit fashion show, where the girls’ clothing designs will be highlighted, is planned for June 11 at 6 p.m. at the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton. It will feature a keynote speaker, live auction, music, and refreshments.

One of the models in the show will be Alexa Mantilla, a 12-year-old from East Hampton who has lupus, an autoimmune disease. “I can’t do the things I used to do and the things my friends can do,” she said during last week’s sewing session. “Today we had the Bonac 5K run, and I couldn’t run. I have to miss a lot of school days.”

The sewing workshop “makes me feel better about this,” Alexa continued. “I know they’re trying to help and doing their best to understand.”

The fashion show and sewing classes were the brainchild of Kathryn Bermudez, an East Hampton parent who started a nonprofit after she learned about the plight of many of the Central American refugees crossing into the United States from Mexico. She began with a back-to-school clothing drive for local families last summer, and later expanded it to benefit the refugees in Texas, making a trip to deliver donated clothes and hygiene products herself.

It took her several months, but Ms. Bermudez finally came up with a name for her effort: Uniting Force. She has set up a Facebook page for it and is in the process of turning it into a formal nonprofit. She has planned a number of activities that are meant to teach kids skills and keep them away from bad habits like drug and alcohol abuse. In addition to sewing, Ms. Bermudez will plan jewelry and candle-making events for girls. Her husband will work on activities for the young men, all with a mission like the sewing workshop.

“This has been a great journey,” she said. “We are starting to plant the seeds with our youth to get involved.”

Kids Stage “Fame”

The Ross Children’s Community Theater will take on “Fame” in performances tomorrow at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Ross School’s Center for Well-Being on Goodfriend Drive in East Hampton.

“Fame — The Musical,” David De Silva’s 1988 adaptation of the 1980 movie, which he produced, follows students at New York’s High School of Performing Arts between 1980 to 1984 as it was preparing to merge with the High School of Music and Art. Fifth through eighth graders in the community theater program will present songs from both versions under the direction of Margaret Kestler, who adapted them for younger performers. The production is open to all members of the community.
