The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons has piloted a new and much-praised program this spring, in which life skills students from local high schools volunteer their time to care for and support the animals. Shelter officials say it’s a mutually beneficial relationship: the students learn crucial life skills, while the animals clearly welcome the attention.

With the arrival of summer comes the return of junior lifeguard programs for kids 9 to 15 run by East Hampton Town and East Hampton Village, both happening on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 to 11 a.m.

East Hampton High School students who want to improve their grades can sign up for summer school, running this year from July 8 to Aug. 8 with classes every Monday through Thursday.

President Biden and Jill Biden, the first lady, are coming to town. An “afternoon reception” with the Bidens is to take place on Saturday in East Hampton, though its exact time and location is being kept under wraps for guests only.
