🌱 Riverhead Daily: Little Flower Missing Teen + 50-Year Jubilee

Morning, people of Riverhead! Diane Witek here with the latest issue of the Riverhead Daily.

First, today's weather:

An afternoon snow shower. High: 33, low: 24.

Here are the top stories in Riverhead today:

1. The search is on for Elizabeth Depascale. She left the Little Flower campus on North Wading River Road on Friday, March 25 at 4 p.m., police. She is a a white, 17, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, 140 pounds, with a light complexion, blue eyes, and blonde straight hair, police said. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Riverhead Police Department at (631)727-4500. (Riverhead Patch)
2. Maximillian Kolbe Polish Language School at St. Isidore's Church in Riverhead is where Polish children, ages 8 to teens learn about their heritage. The core curriculum or reading, writing, and conversational Polish is balanced by a program of folk music and dancing, handcrafts and Polish history. The school's 50-year jubilee celebration will be held later this fall. (Subscription: Riverhead News Review)
3. As a child of nine-years-old, I remember our class writing stories about the Civil War and sending the bind bond book, to the then President Kennedy. "The Miller Place School District recently celebrated their official book launch of “Peachy Keen,” a book written and illustrated by Science Club students from North Country Road Middle School about their adventures rescuing a local sea turtle," wrote TBRnewsmedia. To obtain your copy, visit the NY Marine Rescue Center, the aquarium gift shop and at the MacArthur Airport gift shop. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to supporting the work of the NY Marine Rescue Center. (TBR News Media)
