Diving into this summer’s third spectacular month at Graydon
Plenty of beach weather ahead
Ping-pong, volleyball, basketball, beach paddle ball, horseshoes, croquet, shuffleboard, badminton, decks of cards, stacks of board games, dominoes, lending library—oh yes, and swimming, too. It’s all included with a Graydon badge, and all the games are new or improved this year. What—haven’t bought your badge yet? How to join Graydon Pool
A second pro Graydon editorial in The Record
You may recall the May 21 editorial in The Record that concluded, “Preserve Graydon Pool.” A few weeks ago, a follow-up editorial pleased us very much:
Story Time is a success story
Suzanne Kelly read two versions of “The Gingerbread Man”
at story time #3 on July 22. The children, five at a time,
then pretended to be cookies on a cookie sheet (blanket)
before running back to their towels one by one.
Thanks to the Coalition, beloved story time is back, and the kids have been loving it. When “It’s story time!” is announced over the P.A. system, a cry of “YAY!” rings out around the pool. We’ve had great press from Patch.com and The Record.at story time #3 on July 22. The children, five at a time,
then pretended to be cookies on a cookie sheet (blanket)
before running back to their towels one by one.
On Thursday, August 5, at 2:00, Sally Brandes will read a story about ducklings hatched at the Celery Farm in Allendale and teach a game.
The following Thursday, Ridgewood Day Camp director Mel Powers, interviewed in the video below, will read The Rainbow Fish and lead a related craft activity.
Day campers say Graydon Pool is “totally awesome”—“it rocks!”
Coming to Graydon soon? You’ll agree with the day camp kids that it’s awesome.
Swimmingly,
