Plenty of Varsity Sports Action, Last Day to Donate a Costume
Parent workshop on Common Core tonight.
Welcome to Wednesday, Oct. 23 and from the looks of it it's likely to be a wet and cloudy day with a 70 percent chance of showers starting light in the morning but becoming heavier later in the day.
That doesn't bode well for the many West Islip Varsity teams competing today but hopefully the match-ups will take place as scheduled:
Sports Action:
Girls gymastics 4 p.m. Connetquot @ West Islip
Girls volleyball 6:15 p.m. Copiague @ West Islip
