parents:
What resources does the Chappaqua Library have to offer my
child?
How do I pick the right books for my child?
How can I download an audio book from home?
Don't miss this informative
presentation!
THE NEW
CASTLE RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THE CHAPPAQUA LIBRARY have
teamed up again to encourage reading as a family activity. Its' fourth
storywalk features the book "Granite",
which tells the story of four-time Iditarod winner Susan Butcher and her sled
dog Granite. This is a wonderful activity for all elementary levels, however
our third graders will especially enjoy this storywalk since they are starting
their study of the Iditarod. Enjoy Granite by starting at the New Castle Town
Hall (downstairs lobby window) and read the pages while you stroll downtown
Chappaqua business district.
CRUTCHES 4 KIDS DRIVE . .
. The WO PTA is collecting crutches and canes Friday
March 5th through Thursday, March 11th. A designated bin is located in the
front foyer. Crutches 4 Kids is a new, non-profit
organization based out of Manhattan which encourages kids to help other kids in
need by recycling crutches. The mission is to provide crutches for childen
around the globe who do not have access to assistive ambulatory devices (such as
crutches and canes) but need them to walk. The organization will be run by a
national network of students who will help collect used crutches and will have
them distributed to third world countries, such as Kenya and India, where there
is a significant need and few resources.
