Around the Island

The Roaring Twenty-Tens

JOANN KIRKLAND PHOTO | Party like it’s 1925 — Island students getting giddy after a school assignment of reading “The Great Gatsby.”

The junior and senior classes of the Shelter Island School showed  some bling and no shortage of high spirits as they got ready to “Party with Jay Gatsby,” as their T-shirts proclaimed.

The occasion was tied to the juniors  just finishing reading “The Great Gatsby.”

Both classes are slated to attend the opening night of the new movie version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel on Friday, May 10 in Mattituck.
