Car Wash Sunday Supports Springs Booster Club

Need your car washed? Get it clean and help this upcoming year.

The Springs Booster Club is hosting a car wash at Sportime in Amagansett on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost is $10. 

When the district passed its $24.64 million budget in May, it did so while cutting interscholastic sports for middle schoolers in order to come in under the state-mandated tax spending increase cap.

This summer, parents formed a booster club and have been meeting with administrators in  and the , where middle school students have gone for decades to play most sports, to try and iron out the details of how to handle the $35,000 they need raise to keep 38 boys and girls playing this coming school year.

Football, wrestling, co-ed track, co-ed cross country, golf, boys and girls lacrosse, and tennis, as well as any junior varsity opportunity for eighth graders who might qualify to play at the high school level, are all on the line. With fall sports practices starting as early as the end of August, the clock is ticking fast.

Without the funding, Springs students can only play four team sports; girls and boys soccer, girls and boys basketball, girls softball, boys baseball.
