her first day of school Tuesday with a bright pink cast on her
arm, the result of a fall from monkey bars.

After one last carefree summer weekend, it was back to school this week for many of the area’s students. While most schools reopened on Tuesday, Oysterponds Elementary School started Wednesday and in Greenport summer vacation lasts until Monday.
