Greenport News: Another round of happy birthdays
If you’re the parent of a Greenport student, especially at the high school level, I’m forewarning you that early June is going to be a busy time. Mark your calendars now for the following: sports awards, June 1, 6 p.m.; junior-senior high school spring concert, June 2 (rescheduled from May 18); senior scholarship breakfast, June 3, 8:30 a.m. at the Soundview Restaurant; multicultural night, June 7; elementary school spring concert, June 8, 7 p.m.; and academic awards assembly, June 9.
While I’m in school mode, I have a reminder for all parents. Due to parent-teacher conferences, Friday, April 22, will be a half-day for all students. High school students will be dismissed at 10:52 a.m. and elementary students at 11:45 a.m.
The Southold Rotary Club will host a chicken and ribs dinner (with a salmon option) Tuesday, April 26, from noon to 8 p.m. at the Soundview restaurant. Tickets are $25 per person plus gratuity and can be purchased from any Southold Rotarian or at the door. Takeout orders will be available.
Speaking of Rotary, their Greenport counterparts selected senior Bayron Rivas as their Student of the Month for April. Congratulations, Bayron!
Welcome home to Lori and Jeff Dinizio, who have returned from their extended vacation to South Africa. I received videos of a lowland leopard and a lioness, no more than three feet from them, and I can’t wait to hear what else they encountered on their safari.
