Members of the National Honor Society (NHS) at Shelter Island School are selling shamrocks in the week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. Money raised will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
MDA provides health care and support services for adults and children with neuromuscular diseases. Muscular Dystrophy involves the wasting away of muscles and is progressive. It cannot be reversed, although some medications and treatments can slow the disease.
Gold shamrocks are $5 and green shamrocks are $1. NHS members are trying to beat last year’s goal of $479.
To buy one, see an NHS Member, or cash or checks payable to Shelter Island School can be dropped in the main lobby in an envelope titled “NHS-Shamrocks,” or sent via Venmo to @Janine-Mahoney.

Well, that was fast.
The basketball season, cut short by COVID-19 restrictions, wrapped up at the end of February, just one month after it started. However, judging from the smiles and laughter from the Shelter Island girls varsity basketball team, it mattered little that the season was short and the learning curve steep.
The final game was against the Greenport/Southold Porters on Feb. 24. The game started with the appropriate pomp and circumstances. Coach Brian Springer thanked his only senior, Lydia Shepherd for her work and leadership on the team.

“I was intimidated,” said Ms. Treharne, who teaches high school English and a journalism class at the Shelter Island School, as well as being adviser to the school’s newspaper, The Inlet.
“The paper had won all kinds of awards,” she said, and she didn’t think she could measure up. “I regret it now.”
She remembered that, when she helped revive the Shelter Island school paper nine years ago with former School Superintendent Michael Hynes, she actively recruited students she thought would flourish in student journalism.

After announcing eight new members in December into the National Honor Society (NHS), the Shelter Island School held an induction service for sophomores Elijah Davidson, John Febles Torres, Andrea Napoles, Sebastain Quigley-Dunning, Angelina Rice, Hayden Rylott and Benjamin Waife, and senior Emma Teodoru on Jan. 21.
The recognition, while associated with academic achievement, is not based on GPA alone. “Admission requires a cumulative average of 90 or better, evidence of leadership, the desire to serve, and possessing an admirable character,” said NHS adviser Janine Mahoney.
