To celebrate Earth Day, children at the John M. Marshall Elementary School decorated paper bags that will be distributed to customers of Mary's Marvelous and Stop and Shop today. The students were taught about the importance of community service in the process.
"Kids made the bags to make our East Hampton community aware of Earth Day and hopefully encourage people to do something to help our Earth," said Karen Kuneth, the school's principal.
The East Hampton School Board on Tuesday signed on to a joint agreement among a dozen public school districts for legal representation in an asbestos-related lawsuit. The district will employ Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard, and Smith L.L.P. at a rate that breaks down to less than $20 per hour per district.
Five candidates are seeking three seats on the Bridgehampton School Board and two candidates are vying for one seat on the Springs School Board this spring in the only two locally contested races. The vote is on May 18.
East Hampton High School's Justice League club is acknowledging definite victories during uncertain times in a new initiative celebrating students and "bringing out their best."
