Students at the Hampton Bays Middle School celebrated the Harvest Games event on Friday, November 18. The night of class competition and games, sponsored by the Middle School Student Council, draws participants from students in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

The annual event is more than just good old-fashioned fun; it is also a philanthropic opportunity, with proceeds collected and donated to worthy local causes. This year, more than 1,000 food items were donated and delivered to the Hampton Bays Food Pantry. Additionally, the event raised $385, which has been donated to Maureen’s Haven.
