Gratitude to ‘Graydon Storytime’ readers
Nancy A. Bigos
to the Editor:
For several years now, an annual tradition taking place at the Graydon Pool each summer has been the children’s “Graydon Storytime.” This special program held weekly on Thursday afternoons for nine consecutive weeks delights pre-school children, their siblings and parents.
At each session, a fun and interesting story is read to those in attendance, afterwards an exciting activity, song, game, or arts and crafts project accompanies the theme of the reading. There are usually 30 or more children participating in this very special time each week.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I share my appreciation to the Ridgewood volunteers who give of themselves to make this offering possible. Throughout this 2014 summer season, the residents that volunteered at each weekly program were Suzanne Kelly, Lisa Conklin, Joan Powers, Stacy Bouffard, Dolores Carpenter, Sally Brandes, Betsy Murphy, Toney Jackson, Carol Coughlin, Morgan Kelly and the Graydon Pool lifeguard staff.
My family attended the storytime about skin cancer and we all felt it was off base for small children.
Was Dom there reading to the kid?
#1, was that book supplied by the Promise Foundation, which has basically taken over Graydon for several years and made it Cancer Central?
