A recent sunny afternoon at Ridgewood’s Graydon Pool included an important lesson for children, thanks to the “Storytime at Graydon” event.
The weekly event, which involves one or more volunteers reading aloud to youngsters at the pool, was hosted by lifeguards last week.
The story they read, “Two Naughty Chickens at the Beach,” warned listeners of the dangers of swimming alone, and explained that swimming near lifeguards is very important.
“It’s so much fun,” said Melanie Taylor, one of the readers, while wearing a hat made out of a paper plate resembling a chicken.
She wasn’t the only one dressed up for the event, as many of the lifeguards were wearing various chicken costumes made out of paper plates.
