- Samoset middle schoolers 'Light Up Learning' with Glow Day. Sixth graders participated in "Glow Day" hosted by Ms. Anderson and Ms. Libretti and collaborated to complete six challenging English Language Arts stations that involved engaging, hands-on activities using glow in the dark products. The activities that took place reviewed key topics taught throughout the year thus far including figurative language, signposts, genre study, parts of speech and grammar. (Press Release Desk)
- Assemblyman Doug Smith questioned the board of education about an emergency meeting in which the sale of four acres of district property in Holbrook was approved. "Smith, who was working to have the property preserved, was notified of the 7:15 p.m. meeting about six hours earlier and had "25 separate telephone conversations" about the matter with multiple officials and community leaders. During those, he aired "many concerns" about the property sale, "including the impossibility of myself and the constituents I represent to attend this meeting on such short notice." (Sachem Patch)
