On Saturday, June 5 a small but mighty crew ventured to East Patchogue to build with Habitat for Humanity. Allyson, pictured center, is working on her 300 hours of sweat equity as the future homeowner.
She will, in turn, have a no-interest mortgage for the materials only, since the land was donated and the labor is provided by volunteers. Pictured above, from left, Allyson’s mom, Theo Olinkiewicz, Emmett Cummings, Allyson, Brandon Velasquez, Pacey Cronin and Grace Olinkiewicz.

Shelter Island Volleyball, spring 2021, had a season like no other.
We started practice on Monday, March 1, over six months later than the usual fall start. The varsity squad finished their fast and furious season on Friday, April 16.
During that time we often played or practiced six days a week. Every Monday, all players and coaches were tested for COVID. Each time we entered the gym temperatures were taken and self-certification health forms signed. Masks were worn and physical contact discouraged.

Members of the National Honor Society (NHS) at Shelter Island School are selling shamrocks in the week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. Money raised will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
MDA provides health care and support services for adults and children with neuromuscular diseases. Muscular Dystrophy involves the wasting away of muscles and is progressive. It cannot be reversed, although some medications and treatments can slow the disease.
Gold shamrocks are $5 and green shamrocks are $1. NHS members are trying to beat last year’s goal of $479.
To buy one, see an NHS Member, or cash or checks payable to Shelter Island School can be dropped in the main lobby in an envelope titled “NHS-Shamrocks,” or sent via Venmo to @Janine-Mahoney.
