🌱 Southampton Daily: Meet Sweet Pepper + Robotics Competition

Happy Tuesday, Southampton! Diane Witek here to get you all caught up on what's happening locally to start today off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 52, low: 36.

Here are the top stories in Southampton today:

1. Dogs, cats, pets up for adoption at area shelters. Consider looking around at a local adoption center like Last Chance Animal Rescue, where Pepper the dog is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year-round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed. (Southampton Patch)
2. Who's hiring in the Southampton area? There are many high paying jobs listed, even if you are looking for part-time work, it's all there in Patch. So, what are you waiting for? (Southampton Patch)
3. According to the Sag Harbor School District, Team 28 participated in the first of two competitions on March 13-16. Pierson's robotics team was awarded a $6,000 grant from the Gene Haas Foundation. Next up for Team 28 is the second stage of the FIRST Robotics regional competition held at Hofstra University on Monday through Wednesday. (Southampton Patch)
