Project MOST, a not-for-profit that runs an after-school program at the John M. Marshall Elementary and Springs Schools, is in the running for a $25,000 State Farm Neighborhood Assist grant, but to win it, the organization needs to show that the community is behind its efforts.

    Last Thursday, State Farm announced that Project MOST was among 200 finalists of the 3,000 groups across the country nominated for the grants. Now, the voting is in the hands of the people, or at least the people on Facebook. The 40 groups that receive the most votes on Facebook by April 22 will each get a $25,000 grant.

    Project MOST’s director, Tim Bryden, was enthusiastic about the fact that the grant competition allows people to show their support for the organization’s mission without having to open their own wallets.

    To support the effort, people can visit projectmost.com and click through to the State Farm Neighborhood Assist Facebook page, where they are asked to vote for a cause by state. Each user can vote up to 10 times a day. But diligence is required. As of Monday afternoon, Project MOST was number 39 on the list, with groups from all over the country vying to beat it into the top 40.

    The program offers academic support and enrichment opportunities until 6 p.m. each school day for elementary students for the nominal charge of $45 a week, or less for those unable to afford the regular fee. It serves 300 children at the two schools.

    In addition to private contributions and other grants, Project MOST gets funding from the schools and grants from East Hampton Town and New York State to help keep the cost of its after-school activities reasonable for working families, but in times of heavy budget cuts, raising what it takes to keep the program going is always a challenge, Mr. Bryden said.   

From Egg to Chick

    Families can learn about the life cycle of the chicken, starting with the egg, at the Amagansett Library on Saturday. The program, run by the Cornell Cooperative Extension, will begin at 3:30 p.m. and will include a chance to meet real chicks and hens. Reservations have been requested.

Paint, Canvas, Action!

    Children will channel their inner Pollock at the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton on Saturday. A Jackson Pollock painting class at 11 a.m. run by Ruby Jackson of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs will give kids a chance to use the Abstract Expressionist’s own techniques to paint a “canvas” on the floor. The cost is $21, $10 for members, and includes admission to the museum. Advance registration is required.

IDs, Animals, and Earth

    New York Life will give out free child identification cards, including fingerprints, a photo, and other vital information, on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at the East Hampton Library. The Family Protection Day will also feature fun activities and safety tips to help set parents’ minds at ease.

    Also that afternoon, from 2 to 3 p.m., kids 4 and older with an adult will explore animal sculptures by Picasso and other famous artists, and then make one of their own to take home.

    Tuesday will bring Susan Verde, the author of the new children’s book “The Museum,” to the library for a reading and book signing from 4 to 5 p.m. An Earth Day story and craft time for kids 4 to 6 with an adult is on the schedule for next Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m.

    Sign-up has been requested in advance for the two workshops.

Focus on Films

    Student filmmakers will be in the spotlight on Sunday at Guild Hall’s annual Student Film Project screening and awards ceremony. Films by elementary, middle, and high school students will be featured, with winners selected for each age group by four judges: David Nugent, artistic director of the Hamptons International Film Festival; Dennis Fabiszak, director of the East Hampton Library; Seth Redlus, director of LTV, and Marion Weiss, a writer and editor at Dan’s Papers. Showtime is 6:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Spring Walk

    While the world around us has yet to green up completely for spring, there are many early spring plants that are already flowering. Tyler Armstrong of the South Fork Natural History Museum will lead families with children 5 and up on an early spring forest walk to seek them out on Saturday at 1 p.m. Walkers will set off from the museum, which is on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike. Reservations have been requested.

Young Playwrights Festival

    Seven short plays by middle school students from the Bridgehampton, Ross, Shelter Island, and Eastport-South Manor Schools will be presented on Saturday evening at Stony Brook Southampton’s Avram Theater.

    The performances are the culmination of the Young Artists and Writers Project Middle School Playwriting Program, established by Stony Brook Southampton’s M.F.A. program in creative writing and literature, with Emma Walton as executive director and Will Chandler as program director. It gives young playwrights, actors, and designers a chance to work with professionals affiliated with Stony Brook Southampton and then have their plays staged by professional directors. The festival begins at 7.

    Before that, starting at 5, visitors can stop in at the Avram Fine Arts building for a reception and art show featuring work by Ross School students who participated in a Stony Brook Southampton printmaking workshop led by Scott Sandell.

   After weeks of tears, tension, and tumult, Tuesday night’s meeting of the East Hampton School Board seemed tame.

    Following months of line-item budget workshops, during which board members sparred over the cost of sheet cakes and field trips, all seven of them voted to adopt a $64,238,501 budget for the coming school year.

    The budget, which comes up for a vote on May 21, includes a 5.53 percent tax-rate increase. The board cut nearly $1 million from the total since first reviewing the budget earlier this year, but it still represents a 2.21 percent increase over last year. (By comparison, last year’s school budget raised taxes 3.18 percent over the previous year’s.)

    Despite an estimated increase of 5.01 percent, the budget still meets the state-mandated 2 percent tax levy cap, once exemptions are included.

     “We’re definitely staying within the 2 percent tax-cap levy,” said Richard J. Burns, the district superintendent, at Tuesday’s meeting. “We will not ask taxpayers to pierce the cap.”

    The board next meets on May 7, when a public hearing is planned. Mr. Burns will convene a budget presentation, hoping to clarify what he described as generalized confusion when it comes to the issue of tax caps and exemptions, and particularly, how individual taxpayers will be affected.

     “If I’m a taxpayer, I would like to know how much my taxes are going to go up, but if my house is assessed and it’s going up $8.29 a month, I want to know that, too,” said Patricia Hope, the board’s vice president.

    In addition to adopting the budget, the board acknowledged the superintendent’s recommendation not to grant tenure to Wendi Heffner, a probationary teacher who instructs English Language Learners at John M. Marshall Elementary School.

    The board further voted to suspend an unnamed teacher, believed to be a Spanish teacher at East Hampton High School, with pay, and agreed that the teacher “undertake an evaluation by a clinical psychologist to ascertain fitness and performance of teaching duties.”

    Mr. Burns also updated the board regarding the status of the district’s lawsuit with Sandpebble Builders. At issue is a multimillion-dollar contract for a school construction project that dates back to April of 2002. A trial is expected in the fall, said the superintendent; lawyers have already spoken with all board members and administrators during depositions.

    After announcing that he would not seek reelection this spring, George Aman, the board president, noted that the Sandpebble lawsuit was one of the main reasons he had sought board service in the first place. “When I ran for the board three years ago, this was a big issue,” he said. “We were spending a tremendous amount on the lawsuit, and we’re still spending more money than I’d like, but I feel like it’s in the right legal place and I will be satisfied once it finally comes to trial this fall. And hopefully after October and November we never have to talk about it again.”

    Mr. Burns circulated a document concerning the district’s hiring process as it relates to administrators. He also distributed fee schedules for organizations seeking to use the district’s facilities — athletic fields, gyms, auditoriums — for fund-raising and other activities.

    Near the end of the meeting, each of the district’s three principals provided a brief update.

    Charles R. Soriano, principal of East Hampton Middle School, noted that state ELA testing was under way, with few absences reported. Gina Kraus, the principal of John M. Marshall Elementary School, reported much the same, though noting that some students had struggled considerably.

    Adam Fine, principal of East Hampton High School, said advanced placement exams are planned in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, college acceptances continue pouring in, “with seniors arriving later and later to school,” said Mr. Fine.

    Of the 1,140 college applications, East Hampton seniors have received acceptances from Williams College, Colgate University, Dartmouth College, and Brown University, among others.

    Survey results from the school climate study are back, said Mr. Fine. The National School Climate Center, an organization based in New York City that helps schools establish an environment of emotional well-being, administered the survey. Mr. Fine summed up the study’s findings: “We have a very strong foundation in place, with definite areas for improvement.” The sample included 80 to 90 percent of the high school’s students and staff, and 27 percent of its parents.

Reptiles on Display

    The South Fork Natural History Museum will open its doors Saturday for a day of free activities in honor of Earth Day. For kids, there will be a live reptile, amphibian, and insect show, Erik’s Reptile Edventure, from 10 to 11 a.m. The show offers a chance to see, touch, and learn about lizards, snakes, turtles, tree frogs, toads, salamanders, and even an alligator. Reservations for this one might be a good idea.

    Families can tour the museum, walk the grounds, and check out a site-specific installation by the museum’s artist in residence, Christine Sciulli, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum is in Bridgehampton on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike.

For the Birds

    In Montauk, the Concerned Citizens of Montauk, the Montauk Playhouse, and the Group for the East End are teaming up to bring kids a craft program with a focus on birds. The fun goes down from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Playhouse. Kids who take part in this free program will get their own “birdie bling bag.”

Waddle On

    Swaddle Waddle, a New York City program combining developmental, musical, and educational activities, will head to the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton on Saturday to offer an introduction in advance of a series of classes to be held at CMEE this summer. The class, at 11 a.m., will have kids 4 months to 4 years old shaking, noise making, stretching, and working with parachutes, flashcards, and more. The cost is $15, $5 for members.

    Sima the storyteller will sail into CMEE on Sunday for a free story time at 11 a.m., sponsored by Cultural Care Au Pair. Advance registration is suggested for museum events.

Ball, Carnival, Ballet

    Tickets are on sale for the Hampton Ballet Theatre School’s spring program, to be presented at Guild Hall on Friday, April 26, April 27, and April 28. The production will feature two new ballets, “The Graduation Ball” and “Carnival of the Animals,” choreographed by Sara Jo Strickland, with costumes by Yuka Silver and lighting design by Sebastian Paczynski.

    Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on April 26 and 27 and at 2 p.m. on April 28. Tickets cost $25 for adults and $20 for children under 12 and can be reserved at hamptonballettheatreschool.com or by e-mailing [email protected].

Plein-Air Painting

    What better time than spring to sketch and paint in the great outdoors? If the thought appeals, then a workshop at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill for children 7 and older might be just the thing. Plein-air sketching and painting will be offered on four Saturdays, starting April 27, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The cost is $120, or $90 for museum members. Advance registration is required, as space is limited.

Homework Help

    The John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor is offering help with homework on Mondays from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

    Chase Mallia, a tutor and teacher, will help students ages 13 to 19 in both Spanish and English. An emphasis will be placed on Regents-level mathematics, and snacks will be provided at the program, which will continue through mid-June.

    Young dancers from the Hampton Ballet Theatre School will take the stage tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday to present two new spring ballets at Guild Hall’s John Drew Theater.

    “The Graduation Ball” and “Carnival of the Animals” were choreographed by the school’s director, Sara Jo Strickland, and feature costumes by Yuka Silver and lighting by Sebastian Paczynski. The first, with a score by Johann Strauss Jr., is about students from a boys military school attending a dance at an all-girls school. Camille Saint-Saens did the score for “Carnival of the Animals,” a whimsical romp of wild, barnyard, and zoo animals.

    Performances will be tomorrow and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $25 in advance for adults, $20 for children under 12, and can be purchased at 888-933-4287 or online at hamptonballettheatreschool.com.

Daddy and Me

    Dads who want to get in the groove with their little ones will have a chance at a special Daddy and Me class offered by Music Together by the Dunes on Sunday at the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton. Fathers and children from newborn to age 5 will sing, dance, do rhythmic chants, play instruments, and move together in the class, which starts at 11 a.m. The cost is $10. Advance registration is at mtbythedunes.com.

Libros y Peliculas

    Tuesday, or Martes, will be el Dia de los Ninos and el Dia de los Libros at the East Hampton Library. The celebration of children, books, and reading from 4 to 5 p.m. will include stories in English and Spanish for kids 4 and older and a craft session. Advance registration has been requested.

    Teenagers who took part in the library’s annual teen film contest, a monthlong filmmaking effort, will show their films on Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. Awards will be presented in a range of categories, including a People’s Choice Award. Refreshments will be served.

Terrariums and Sandcasts

    As the larger outside habitats wake from their winter slumber, kids 7 to 15 will have a chance on Saturday to make their own microcosms during a terrarium workshop at the South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton. Crystal Possehl, a nature educator at the museum, will use the terrarium project to teach participants about the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles, and how air, soil, and water work together to “keep life in balance.” The workshop starts at 10 a.m.

    On Sunday at the same time, Lindsey Rohrbach will lead kids 5 and older in a beachcombing and sandcasting workshop, sharing tips about identifying shells and other beach treasures, collecting them, and using plaster of Paris to cast them. There will be a $3 materials fee.

    Advance reservations are required for both programs.

Author, Author!

    The Hampton Library in Bridgehampton is running a bus trip for teens to the Authors Unlimited event at St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue on Saturday, where kids will have a chance to meet young-adult authors, talk about their books, even get autographs. The trip is open to younger children as well, but teens will get preferred seating on the bus, which will leave the library at 8 a.m. and head home from the college at 4 p.m. Those under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

   The Montauk School Board learned on Tuesday that Lee White and Honora Herlihy have filed the required petitions to run for five-year terms on the board. Each is a parent of two young children.

    Ms. Herlihy is the former owner of the Montauk Carriage House, which she recently sold. Mr. White is a member of the East Hampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals and has worked at the Harvest on Fort Pond restaurant for many years.

    They are running for the seat that is being vacated by Therese Watson, who has been on the board for 29 years, 6 of those as president. “All good things must come to an end,” she told the board when announcing her resignation in March.

    At Tuesday’s meeting the board also got a peek at a proposal submitted by Kelly Window Systems to increase security at the building’s entrance. The company has done prior work for the school that officials were pleased with.

    During budget workshops, Jack Perna, the district superintendent, told the board that in light of recent school shootings, especially at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., he wanted to tighten security. An amount of $30,000 was included in the budget for the project.

    Mr. Perna told the board that three bids had been submitted for the work, with one from Kelly Window Systems coming in at a little under $13,000. The two other bids were for $20,000 and $38,000.

    The plan calls for adding a second interior entrance, with walls about five feet high, past the existing entry doors. There would be a vestibule area where visitors could wait or drop off their children’s lunches. It is to have double doors five feet in height, with “panic hardware” installed on them. Visitors would have to be buzzed in by school staff.

    The other doors into the building are locked at all times. At present, anyone stepping into the building’s main entrance is caught on a camera that streams live to a television set in the main office.

    Board members wondered if all staff and teachers should wear identification badges so that “you know someone’s not supposed to be here if they don’t have on an identity pass,” Diane Hausman, the board president, said.

    Another board member suggested making the walls on the new entrance higher so that students wouldn’t be tempted to throw things over to the other side. The project is still being tweaked, but the board gave its approval to start. The security measures will be put in place soon.

    The three-member board of the tiny Wainscott School voted unanimously last week to adopt a $3,458,857 budget for the 2013-14 school year. No members of the public were present.

    The proposed budget includes a $45,603 decrease in spending from last year’s $3.5 million. The proposed tax levy is $2,706,957.

    “We haven’t talked about the budget at all and we have to pass it tonight,” said David Eagan, a board member. “The rest of this agenda can be pushed aside. Let’s get to what we have to do.”

    Although it was nominally an open meeting, requests that copies of the proposed budget be made available were repeatedly denied. New York State’s Open Meetings Law requires that documents being discussed be available to all members of the press and public.

    The East Hampton Star sent a letter last Thursday morning to Stuart Rachlin, the Wainscott School superintendent, requesting a copy of the documents, but there has been no response. In the absence of such documents, the board’s discussion of the budget was nearly impossible to follow.

    The school currently has 15 students in grades K to 3. The district employs two full-time teachers and one full-time teacher’s aide.

    On May 21, the annual budget vote will take place at the school, between the hours of 2 and 8 p.m.   

    Since the East Hampton School District suspended three bus drivers and two mechanics in February, rumors and accusations have run rampant. Now, with two of the bus drivers opting for public disciplinary hearings, which began Tuesday, the district’s reasons and counter claims are coming out.

    Two of the bus drivers, Christine Vorpahl and Dawn Gallagher, have each been suspended without pay since March 20. Taken together, the two women face nine charges — charges that were largely unknown until Ms. Vorpahl’s public hearing began early Tuesday. The East Hampton Board of Education had voted to suspend the employees without pay at the March 20 board meeting, although they did not identify them by name.

    Ms. Vorpahl and Ms. Gallagher have retained legal representation from Thomas Horn of Sag Harbor and Lawrence Kelly of Bayport. Kevin Seaman of Stony Brook is representing the East Hampton district.

    On Tuesday, following opening statements by each side, the district called the first two of its 17 witnesses — Richard Burns, the district’s superintendent, followed by Bella Warren, a former transportation secretary. With a handful of witnesses planned for Wednesday, attorneys on both sides were unable to predict how long the hearings would stretch on.

    Though the original schedule had been for Ms. Vorpahl’s hearing to take place on Tuesday, followed by Ms. Gallagher’s hearing on Wednesday, that was promptly scrapped given the large number of witnesses.

    Mr. Horn, a labor attorney who has made a name fighting actions by East Hampton Town, said after Tuesday’s proceedings, that “good progress on our case” had been made. The district ­hadn’t shown “much of substance here. So far, none of the testimony has revealed anything that we didn’t already suspect.”

    Mr. Seaman said he was “very pleased.” He added: “These poor people, making a living driving a bus and they’re subjected to this coterie of supervisors who played favorites. They went after the weaker people.”

    He noted that while a settlement had been offered — paying Ms. Vorpahl through June — she ultimately turned it down, opting for the public hearing instead. Throughout Tuesday morning’s proceedings, Ms. Vorpahl remained expressionless.

    According to the charging document dated March 19, Ms. Vorpahl faces five charges including falsely identifying herself as a certified examiner of school bus drivers, gaining an unfair advantage with regard to overtime pay,  fostering a climate of intimidation, bullying, and ridicule within the transportation department, knitting and viewing non-work-related Internet sites during working hours, and failing to relocate a bus stop on Oakview Highway, thereby jeopardizing the safety of students. The district-appointed hearing officer, Thom­as Volz, is to recommend any penalties he deems warranted to the school board, which has the right to accept or deny them.

    In his opening remarks, Mr. Seaman described the transportation department as a “lord of the flies, renegade colony,” alleging that Ms. Vorpahl served as one of the “ring leaders,” subjecting colleagues to frequent bouts of ridicule and intimidation.

    “She’s run the gamut from every level of misconduct — from neglect of duty to inappropriate workplace behavior,” Mr. Seaman said. “As an employee, she has forfeited her right to be employed in the East Hampton School District because of her own conduct.”

    Mr. Horn’s opening remarks countered Mr. Seaman’s. “One of the things missing from Mr. Seaman’s list is my client ever being given an opportunity to explain or give her side of a story and the campaign that was against her going on behind the scenes with the aid of the administration. Clear from the evidence that every issue that’s talked about here in these charges relates back to supervision of the entire department, which was not the job of my client.”

    Prior to Tuesday’s hearing, Mr. Horn described the charges as “vague and overblown.” Of the charge related to knitting during working hours, Ms. Horn dismissed it, saying, “Stop me before I purl again.”

    During Mr. Burns’s testimony, he noted that Ms. Vorpahl had received far greater overtime compensation than many of her colleagues. While he said a normal amount might range between $1,000 to $3,000 a year, Ms. Vorpahl had earned $14,325 between July 1, 2012, and January 17, 2013. Ms. Gallagher, meanwhile, had received $9,321 in overtime.

    As of press time, the district had begun the process of questioning 15 bus drivers. Regina Astor, a former bus driver, said she had never been trained by Ms. Vorpahl, even though she had been listed on the certifying document as having been trained by her. Mr. Horn had begun his cross-examination.

    While all five of the transportation department workers were originally suspended with pay, a mechanic has since agreed to a settlement and subsequent resignation. Two additional, unnamed employees remained suspended with pay.

    The public hearings are expected to stretch into next week — and possibly far longer.

    It’s budget season, and the Springs School Board has voted unanimously to adopt a $25.4 million budget for the 2013-14 school year.

    Next year’s proposed budget includes a tax levy increase of 1.3 percent and a projected tax rate increase of 3.37 percent over last year. By comparison, last year’s $24.6 million budget included a 2.97 percent increase in the tax levy and a 3.19-percent increase in the tax rate, based on the previous year’s budget.

    Springs residents whose houses are valued at $600,000 paid $165 per household last year; this year those householders are projected to pay $180. Houses valued at $800,000 paid $220 last year; this year’s projected rate is only $20 more, or $240.

    In Springs on Monday night, at the fourth budget workshop of the year, about a dozen residents sat through a presentation that examined the proposed budget, a district-wide five-year overview, an examination of its fund balance, and the proposed tax rate and tax levy.

    “One of the goals was to develop a fiscally responsible budget to meet our educational goals. We believe we’ve done that this year,” said Eric Casale, the Springs School principal. “Even given our budget constraints, we believe we’re offering our students one of the most rigorous educational programs on the East End.”

    This year’s budget process stands in stark contrast to the prior year, when the school cut $792,000 from its preliminary budget. No cuts are planned for the coming year.

    Thomas Primiano, the school treasurer, noted that the projected budget represented a $123,017 reduction in spending from $25.5 million proposed at the first budget workshop in February. Despite such reductions, the $25.4 million budget represents a $782,380 increase in spending over the previous year.

    The budget includes a list of capital projects that will cost the district nearly $300,000. Among big-ticket items are a front vestibule and ramp at a cost of $75,000 and a parking lot and repairs along Ed Hults Lane for approximately $80,000.

    There is $642,000 for employee benefits, $231,000 for payroll, and a $354,000 reduction in East Hampton High School tuition after Springs negotiated a lower rate earlier this year. Come September, Springs also plans to add a sixth school bus “to meet our growing demand for more seats,” according to Elizabeth Mendelman, a board member. The school enrolled 667 students last September, but projects an enrollment of 695 this fall.

    Board members also debated whether to choose a Teachers’ Retirement System “pension-smoothing  plan” of 14 percent or go with 16.25 percent. While the lower-priced plan would save around $175,000, the district would essentially be borrowing money from itself that it would be forced to repay, with interest, in coming years. Both Springs and East Hampton ultimately rejected the plan, opting for a 16.25 percent rate for the coming year.

    “We’re in a cautious place, but feel we’re in a better situation than a lot of districts,” concluded Mr. Primiano.

    The budget will be made available to the public on May 7, followed by a public hearing on May 13. Finally, the budget vote and school board election, which has three candidates vying for two vacancies, will take place on May 21.

    The Amagansett School has a new principal. At its meeting on Tuesday night, members of the school’s board voted unanimously to appoint Robert M. Brisbane to the position.

    The appointment of Dr. Brisbane, who holds certifications in the areas of school district administrator and nursery, kindergarten, and grades one through six, is effective May 6. He will be acting principal through June 30, at which time a three-year contract will commence. The principal has been hired at an annual salary of $160,000.

    Dr. Brisbane holds a doctorate in education from St. John’s University and two master’s degrees in education administration and reading strategies and practices. He has worked as an assistant superintendent, a supervisor at the Nassau Board of Cooperative Educational Services, and as a middle school principal, assistant principal, and an elementary school teacher.

    A letter signed by Eleanor Tritt, the school’s superintendent, was sent home with students yesterday. In it, she wrote that Dr. Brisbane “embodies the nurturing, child-centered advocate that our district prizes. [. . .] I am confident that in a very short amount of time you will see that Dr. Brisbane will be able to focus on the needs of students, parents, and staff.”

    Parents, Ms. Tritt wrote, will soon have an opportunity to meet Dr. Brisbane and “to learn why we are so impressed with him and why we are looking forward to the impacts he will make on our school.”

    “We were very exited about bringing him on board,” Ms. Tritt said yesterday. “He’s excited about coming on board as well. I’m sure everyone will feel very comfortable with him very soon.”

    At the board meeting, Ms. Tritt also announced that all six of the current 10th graders who attended the Amagansett School will be among those inducted into the National Honor Society tonight at East Hampton High School. Peter Davis, Bryan Gamble, Conrad Kabbaz, Emma Newburger, Melanie Schwagerl, and Bridget Stonemetz are the Amagansett School’s inductees.

    “We congratulate these students and take great pride in their achievements,” Ms. Tritt said.
