To celebrate the start of spring, our elementary school students participated in our annual egg hunt, for which students, parents and community members donated 2,000 eggs! This doubled our original goal of 1,000 eggs for this year’s festivities. Mrs. Hamra Ozsu, Mr. Liberatore, the Egg Hunter extraordinaire, and the elementary school student government spent time diligently dispersing eggs throughout the grounds of Bridgehampton School.

Students in grades pre-K through fifth participated in three different egg hunts, and in each a golden egg was hidden, revealing a special prize.

Bridgehampton’s STEAM Team competed in the 2024 Maglev Competition hosted by Brookhaven National Laboratory that tested vehicles propelled using magnetic levitation. There were over 150 students in grades 5-8 who participated in the competition. Students were awarded based on different speed and appearance categories. In the competition, students had to learn about maglev technology and use math, science and technology principles to optimize the design of a maglev vehicle.

Our very own fifth grader Stella Acton-Bond won third place in the appearance category for her 3D-printed maglev vehicle. Fantastic job to all our Bridgehampton students!

Last week the Bridgehampton School’s Parent Teacher Organization brought together communities and culture for a fantastic multicultural potluck dinner. With a selection of delicious dishes from Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines and the United States, everyone was able to sample foods from outside of their heritage.
Approximately 100 people attended the event, where there was an incredible array of entertainment – Bridgehampton School’s own marimba band performed, Mr. Shane Weeks from the Shinnecock Nation did an interactive presentation on Shinnecock history, the Mexican dance group Xochipilli performed two traditional Mexican dances, and a double-dutch champion team, The Bellport Jumpers, did an amazing demonstration.
Thanks to the dedicated group of student volunteers who did an excellent job hosting and decorating, we all came together to celebrate the array of cultures among us in the Bridgehampton community.

Pi Day Celebrations

Happy 3.14 to all who celebrate; we sure did! As part of our annual celebrations, sixth grade teacher Julianna Pronesti held a competition in her classroom: whoever could memorize and recite the most digits of pi would get the chance to “pie” her in the face. This year, sixth grader Zoe Urgiles memorized 100 digits of pi, the most any sixth grader has memorized. A big shoutout to our lovely Ms. Pronesti for doing this in front of our big crowd of students.

The rest of the school also celebrated. Students in College Statistics, a co-enrollment course partnered with Suffolk County Community College, took a trip around the school to find circles. Using a variety of tools, they recorded estimations for the diameter and circumference of these circles into a list array. Using linear regression and technology, students created a least-squares regression model and analyzed its appropriate use in this case, finding that the relationship is indeed linear no matter the size of the circle with confidence.
