Spring Break Camp

    East Hampton Town is offering a free spring break recreation program for children in kindergarten through sixth grade from Tuesday through Friday, April 13. The sessions, which run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day, will be held at the John M. Marshall Elementary School in East Hampton and at the Montauk School.

    Registration can be done in advance at the East Hampton Town Parks and Recreation Department or at the Montauk Playhouse. Children can also be registered at John M. Marshall or the Montauk School on Tuesday.

Hispanic Leadership

    Three East Hampton High School seniors — Maryolin Perez, Milton Farez, and Deyvis Avila — were awarded scholarships last weekend at the Angelo del Toro Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute in Albany. Of the 200 students who applied, 25 were granted scholarships, and were chosen by essays and a mock assembly.

    The students also had an opportunity to speak to Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., the local representative, and Assemblyman Phillip Ramos, who chairs the yearly event.
