Pawling Recreation
Teachers say that the skills that lead to the most student success in school are their social and emotional skills. Join us to help develop these skills, all while children play! This supervised hour of fun provides a large space for children to meet and play, either inside or out, depending on the weather. This program is designed to ease the transition to daycare, preschool, and especially kindergarten and is paid for in part by Dutchess County.

“The Family Plot, by Linda McCauley Freeman, pulses with life. Poems rich in sense detail portray one American girlhood, one American family, in all of its joy and its sorrow. McCauley Freeman understands that joy and sorrow often coexist inside one moment, and that this moment lives on, like ‘one of those [souvenir] photos/vendors take without asking, then charge you to keep.’ One poem recalls a father bursting into his boisterous sons’ locked room: ‘the hinges popped/and our father became for a moment//Aladdin, riding the door to the floor/in a flash of dust.’ Likewise, The Family Plot arrives on the poetry scene, and not a minute too soon.”
