🌱 Trapped Buck Freed In Setauket + Breakfast With Santa Locations

Hello, hello! It's me, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Daily. I'd like to start this Monday with a quick dive into everything you need to know about what's happening around town. In today's issue, you'll find these stories and more:

• Local heroes rescue trapped buck.
• Three Village students were recognized for their performance on the SAT Exam.
• Emma Clark Library events and more!

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 49, low: 41.

Here are the top four stories in Three Village today:

1. Heroes from the wildlife rescuers from Strong Island Animal Rescue and Smithtown Sweetbriar Nature Center helped a buck trapped on a wire fence on Quaker Path in South Setauket. The team carefully cut the mesh off and freed the poor animal on Friday at 4:30 p.m. Great teamwork to protect wildlife. (Three Village Patch)
2. The Three Village Central School District Board of Education honored students for their efforts and achievements on Nov. 30. Students were recognized for their performance in the SAT exam, which qualifies them for the semifinals of the National Merit Scholarship Program. (Three Village Patch)
3. Some say that holiday calories don't count but, how about those who want to be in shape even after the festivities? Emma Clark Memorial Library is hosting the Chair Yoga series on Dec. 8 to support those who count extra calories during the season. Register here. (Emma Clark Memorial Library)
4. "Eat, drink, and be merry!" Lots of spots on Long Island will host Breakfast with Santa. If you are looking forward to spending time with the family, eating a hot meal, and taking photos with Santa, visit the LI News 12 guide with events in Suffolk and Nassau County. (Long Island News12)
