Once again, the East Hampton School District passed its annual audit with flying colors.

Activities on the agenda for kids and teens this week include a celebration of LatinX culture at the Children's Museum of the East End, fun for would-be teenage sleuths, crafts, a salamander search, and opportunities to earn community service credits.
