The Ghost Of Marilyn Monroe + Lessening School Covid Protocols

Happy weekend Miller Place-Rocky Point!

About me: I am a lifelong Long Islander who has covered local news for over a decade. I'm a busy working mom who loves to share nearby news to inform, educate, inspire or just make your daily life a bit easier. I used to live next door in Shoreham and I love the beautiful North Shore beaches.

Patch is trying something a bit different with this daily newsletter: We want you to be able to catch up on all the top local news, announcements and events in one quick read.

In today's daily, find out what local reportedly-haunted nature preserve got bigger this week and how local school districts will incorporate the newest COVID-19 health recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC.) If you want to do a good deed for the community, consider cleaning up a local beach with friends for "SuperBeach Clean."

Today's weather will be clear with a high of 67 degrees for a pleasant Saturday.
