Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.

Today is National Paper Airplane Day. Seems like a good way to spend the afternoon. Speaking of
paper, our print newspapers were delayed today because of a mix-up with the trucking company that delivers them. We apologize for the delay. You should expect to see the print edition in your mailbox by Friday. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Bottled up tensions The Vineyard Montessori School continues to serve bottled water while they try to find out the source of lead found in water samples at the school. During a water commission meeting on Wednesday, Debbie Jernigan, head of school, urged action by the town to expedite the issue. At times, water superintendent Chris Cassidy spoke over her. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has this story.

Super idea?
The All-Island School Committee gathered again on Wednesday to talk about life without Matt D’Andrea. This time the committee had some input from a member of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees on hand for some guidance. The discussion centered around whether the committee could appoint Richie Smith as superintendent for the remaining two years of D’Andrea’s contract. Reporter Lucas Thors has this story.

‘Enough is enough’ That was the overwhelming response during a walkout on Thursday at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. Students at the school took to the side of Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road carrying signs and a message — more needs to be done to protect students while they’re at school. The MVRHS students joined students across the country in walking out to honor the lives lost on Tuesday in Uvalde, Texas. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story.

Today: Join your friends and neighbors and play what seems to be the most enjoyable instrument in the universe: Ukulele Jam Night at the YMCA. You can’t be sad if you’re playing a uke. I feel like that should be a motto or something. 6:30 pm. –Connie Berry
Come see Charlotte Booker in "Elsa Lanchester Tonight!" at the M.V. Playhouse. Remember when we couldn’t attend live theater? Well, it’s back, so let’s enjoy it. Read Gwyn McAllister’s story about the play here. 7:30 pm. –C.B.

Tomorrow: Heck yes! It’s time for Grace Church Lobster Rolls. The tasty, chunky lobster rolls you know and love are back. Order online in advance. Should I say "heck" when writing about a church event? I’ll cross my fingers and hope for the best. 3 to 6:30 pm. –C.B.

Our house is your house
The Red House Peer Recovery Support Center is a place where anyone who is on the road to recovery can stop by for a nice meal with friends, yoga, music, arts and crafts, movie nights, and various recovery support programs. The Red House prides itself on inclusivity, and goes far beyond the conventional 12-step process to create a community around recovery that transcends far beyond the walls of the center. Director of publications Connie Berry met with some folks at the Red House and heard their story. Read the touching and informative piece here.
