Wainscott School

As part of the physical education program, the students go bowling on Monday afternoons at East Hampton Bowl.
John Marshall Elementary School
Mrs. McKee and Miss Borowsky have started an Activities Club for fifth graders, and recently the members planted daffodil bulbs, donated by Whitmore’s Nursery, around the school. The club has also started a Capri-Sun recycling program in the school cafeteria. Capri Sun containers are recycled into usable items like backpacks and lunch bags. Additionally, they’ve started recycling plastic bottles and lunch trays. The school gets money for collecting the pouches. Last week, the club made banners to support the boys soccer team and the girls volleyball team. They also helped run the Veterans Day assembly on November 7. The club’s advisors hope the club will show the students that even at a young age they can have a positive effect on their community.
Boxes will remain set up in the front hallway for a schoolwide food drive. Donations may be dropped off any time.

Eighth-grader Mary Nolan wrote 50,000 words before Thanksgiving break—a first for the school—in the NaNoWriMo, a national novel writing contest. Mary’s novel is about a girl who is in a car accident. Several weeks after her recovery, she starts to realize that she has the ability to see visions of the past and the future. Throughout the story, she starts to gather more powers, and it seems as though she might be an angel. She is on a quest to find the woman who saved her from the car accident.
