Morning, neighbors! It's me again, Kami Spagnoli, your host of the Westhampton-Hampton Bays Daily.

First, today's weather:

A p.m. shower in places. High: 55, low: 35.

Here are the top stories today in Westhampton-Hampton Bays:

1. West Hampton Officials Discuss School Policy Difficult Times: Unusual events like food shortages, cafeteria worker shortages, and even restrictions on staff arising from quarantine requirements make lunchtime complicated. Venue for kids to interact with science concept and to experiment with new ways to see our world. The center also has a commitment to fostering inclusion in the field. Girls and minorities have long been underrepresented in science, technology and engineering. Island Science Center has dedicated outreach through its 501 C3 to homeless populations. They also have provided science curriculum to over 25,000 children in Scout troops, schools and public libraries, according to its website. The advances that science brings us uplifts us all, and challenges us to do more to improve life for everyone. (Westhampton School District)
2. Board Of Trustees: Nov. 3 ARB meeting reviewed the minutes of the planning meeting held on Oct. 28. With elections creeping up, it is a great time to access your civic spirit and get involved in your village. Leadership is the word of the day! Both labor and distribution shortages have forced the district to get creative . They are given the special mandate of providing diverse, healthy and appealing meals to West Hampton students daily. District administration acknowledges that many of the students rely on school lunches for complete nourishment. Out of the box solutions are employed, because the school knows how important regular meals are to young people. (Westhampton School District)
3. Science Is Our Future: Long Island Science Center not only creates a fun school district, officials in West Hampton discuss the challenges associated with making nutritious lunches for students during these unique times. (LI Science Center)
