Hope you got a chance to see this year’s rag-a-muffin parade. It was quite a sight. Aside from a lot of pirates, devils, and hippies, there were two SpongeBobs!

If you haven’t done so, don’t forget to bring your uneaten and unnecessary candy to school by tomorrow, Thursday, November 5. The Amagansett PTA is participating in a program begun by Dr. Vic of Grazina Orthodontics. They will buy back the candy at $1 per pound to be given to our PTA, and then they will send the candy to our troops overseas, so they can share it with other children and also make a donation to a local organization that supports our troops. A very nice program and the PTA is grateful to Christopher Dubs for bringing it to their attention and I am sure the troops and our kids’ teeth will thank him too!
