Sixth grade students had an unforgettable trip to Boston last week as a culmination of their elementary school experience. During the visit, the students explored museums, rode the famous Duck Boats, walked the historic Freedom Trail, toured the Old North Church and Fenway Park, and most importantly, created lasting memories with their friends and families. 

A heartfelt thank you to all our chaperones who made this incredible experience possible. Your time, energy, and care helped make this trip another meaningful milestone for our students.

June 6 marked the culmination of a year-long journey where third grade students explored cultures from around the world through their social studies lessons. From Mexico to Angola to Italy, the students not only studied these countries but brought them to life through dance.

Over the past four weeks, the students worked hard learning choreography that reflects the unique traditions of each culture. Friday’s performance was a joyful expression of that learning, blending movement, music, and meaning.

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing third grade teachers for their dedication, guidance, and support throughout this journey. To the students—we are incredibly proud of each one of you for your enthusiasm, hard work, and spirit.

What a beautiful way to celebrate global understanding and the arts!

East Quogue School had a wonderful day celebrating the power of inclusion, understanding, and recognizing the unique abilities in all of us during the inaugural Ability Awareness Night. This event was made truly special thanks to the incredible volunteers, staff, and families who came together to support this important initiative.

In the weeks leading up to the event, our school social worker visited every classroom to help students build empathy and awareness, preparing them for a meaningful day of learning and connection.

At East Quogue, we believe every student is empowered and equipped for greatness. Instead of focusing on the word “disability,” we shift the conversation to recognize and celebrate the abilities each of us brings to our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this first Ability Awareness Day such a success.

Judged by our sixth grade team, this fun-filled competition of Are You Smarter Than a Sixth Grader put the academic skills of our students to the test against some very special guests — the Southampton Police Department.

While they are truly our local heroes and we are deeply grateful for all they do, our officers were no match for the sharp minds of our sixth graders, who once again claimed victory.

Thank you to the Southampton PD for being such great sports and for always supporting our school community. We’re already looking forward to next year’s rematch!
