The East Quogue community’s compassion and support flourished, having raised $29,000 for Relay for Life, $5,000 more than the community’s fundraising goal. The Relay for Life event provided the school community with a meaningful opportunity to honor cancer survivors, commemorate the lives of those lost, and to join forces in the fight against cancer.

Superintendent of Schools Michael Miller said, “This incredible achievement speaks volumes about our collective commitment to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Together, we have shown that when we come together as a community, there is no limit to what we can accomplish. Thank you for embodying the spirit of compassion, generosity, and unity that defines our school community.”

East Quogue Community,

I hope all is well. We are privileged to be part of such an incredible school community where compassion and support flourish. Last Friday, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Alessi, Mr. Purkis, Ms. Russo, Ms. Luckingham, student council, and numerous dedicated volunteers, we hosted a Relay for Life Event that brought our community together in a remarkable display of unity and purpose.

The Relay for Life Event provided us with a meaningful opportunity to honor cancer survivors, commemorate the lives of those we have lost, and join forces in the fight against cancer. The touching speeches delivered by Mrs. O’Brien, Mrs. Stalters, and Mrs. York shared stories of courage, resilience, and power of community support, leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.

I am thrilled to share that, thanks to the generosity and dedication of our community members, we have raised an astounding $29,000 and counting. This incredible achievement speaks volumes about our collective commitment to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.

On behalf of the elementary student council and the entire school community, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to each and everyone of you who supported the Relay for Life Event. Your contributions, whether through participation, donations, or simply lending your unwavering support, have made a significant difference and are truly appreciated.

Together, we have shown that when we come together as a community, there is no limit to what we can accomplish. Thank you for embodying the spirit of compassion, generosity, and unity that defines our school community.

It was a test of skill and minds as East Quogue Elementary School sixth grade students battled it out in a competitive game of “Are You Smarter Than a Sixth Grader?” with members of the Southampton Police Department.

As much as the district respects the local police department, the sixth graders showed no mercy for each of the officers and were ultimately victorious. It was a great day of fun for everyone, and the district thanks the police department for their participation.
