Project Most will hold a fund-raising toy sale on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the East Hampton Neighborhood House at 92 Three Mile Harbor Road.

Toys for children ages 2 and up, such as dolls, sports equipment, trucks, and video games, will be available for purchase for as little as $2 each.

All proceeds support Project Most, which runs educational programs for children here during the school year, on weekends, and in the summer.

During Monday's Sag Harbor School Board meeting, district administrators addressed the return of after-school activities. Matt Malone, the Sag Harbor Elementary School principal, said that taking into account the cohort system, returning to co-curriculars would be counterintuitive. Clubs would mean that children from different student groupings intermingle, so Mr. Malone said he decided not to add them back into the schedule to maintain existing safety measures. The same goes for middle school clubs, officials said.

East Hampton High School students who are 16 and have their learner's permit can sign up for virtual driver's education classes for $200 for the fall semester.

One case of Covid-19 in the first grade at the John M. Marshall Elementary School last week wasn't enough to shut down school in East Hampton, but a second case in second grade, confirmed on Tuesday, led school officials to close the entire district Wednesday. That afternoon, the district informed parents that students who share the classroom with the Covid-positive second grader and that classroom's head teacher will have to quarantine for 14 days.

After being notified of a second confirmed case of Covid-19 in a student at the John M. Marshall Elementary School, the East Hampton School District has decided to close the elementary school, middle school, and high school on Wednesday "out of an abundance of caution," the district said in an email and voice memo sent to parents on Tuesday afternoon.

The bucket list includes pumpkin picking, carving a jack o'lantern, hiking, watching a scary movie, navigating a corn maze, and other fun fall activities.
