Then on Saturday, the street in front of the high school was packed for this year’s homecoming parade as Homecoming Queen Brianna Mattiucci and King Charlie McLoone were welcomed along with the high school marching band, the Eagle mascot and cheerleaders.

Each class also created a float in the "Board Game Fun" theme and the sophomore class won the contest with their Candy Land float. There were several booths and carnival games in the parking lot before the game as well. The varsity football team fought hard with Harborfields but ultimately fell, 21-20. game.

In other homecoming games, the girls varsity field hockey team clinched a win against Shoreham-Wading River and the girls varsity soccer team won their game against East Hampton. The varsity volleyball and boys varsity soccer teams both suffered losses East Hampton and Sayville, respectively.

Bravo MP Majority, very well said.Teachers are the most protected job on the planet. Now if theyRead More could only earn that money by producing results in the classrooms like they used to. But I also blame the absent NO vote. They need to be sent a message-we need a majority no vote but that will never happen. Glad I am out of here in 2 years. Can't imagine trying to live here and pay these taxes on social security and my 401K that tanked in 2008 while I was making up the teachers loss on their pension and paying my health insurance & theirs at the same time. So boo hoo teachers you have to spend money on the kids while I spend money on you.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".
