The Hampton Bays High School Thespian Society will present its latest production, “Radium Girls,” on Friday, November 19, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, November 20, at 2 p.m.
The show, written by D.W. Gregory, is based on the almost-forgotten true story of the dial painters of the World War II era who used radium-based paint to trace the numbers on watches, clocks and machinery dials so they would glow in the dark.
“It is an inspiring story, and one that deserves to be told and remembered,” said director Marie Perez.
Tickets to the show are $5 each and can be purchased at hampton-bays-high-school.ticketleap.com.
On October 29, Red Ribbon Week wrapped up at Pierson Middle School in Sag Harbor. Throughout the week, students engaged in a series of learning and community building activities that culminated in a door decorating contest.
The school came together as a community to raise awareness about the dangers of drugs and to emphasize the importance of good mental, emotional and physical health. For the entire week, students and faculty wore red to represent a pledge to live drug free and to honor the sacrifices of all who have lost their lives in the fight against drugs.
New to this year, middle school students were exposed to programming developed through a close partnership with SAFE in Sag Harbor. Students learned about the impact of drugs on the developing teenage brain, skills to navigate peer pressure and relationships, how to find natural highs, and strategies to reduce stress.
One way students learned about the effects of drugs on the brain occurred during a seventh grade math class. The seventh graders compared real-world nutrition facts to their proportional reasoning unit.
Anthony Chase Mallia, the math teacher for grades seven through 12, said “seventh grade students read a Harvard School of Public Health article on the dangers of added sugar. They completed an interactive investigation on Desmos.com relating how to read nutrition facts to what we are learning in our proportional reasoning unit. These real-world applications bring meaning to the math they are learning in class, allowing them to make connections that reinforce their understanding of the course objectives.”
With phrases such as, “We have the power to say no,” and “Door Busters: We ain’t afraid to say no,” Pierson Middle Schoolers took to their front facing classroom doors to wrap up Red Ribbon Week with original designs and teamwork.
Southampton Intermediate School also honored Red Ribbon Week activities from October 25 to 29 to further support students in living healthy, drug-free lives.
Assembled by the school’s guidance department, the week of activities featured theme days where students dressed up in support of the initiative, including wearing red to rally against drugs, sporting their favorite sports jerseys and donning Halloween costumes.
Several guest speakers visited the school during the week, including a representative from The Retreat, who discussed healthy relationships, and Southampton Town police officers Tiffany Lubold and Lisa McCulley, who spoke about healthy choices.
Rounding out the week was a “Decorate Your Door” contest, where classes adorned their classroom doors surrounding the theme of “Don’t Be Scared to Say No to Drugs.”
