A Note From Donna

I hope everyone had a festive and happy 4th of July. We had a wonderful week off and I am ready to dive back into summer camps while getting prepared to start another school year.

The menu hasn't changed much and I'm going to try to keep it simple for the rest of the summer. There is so much going on but I feel confident that the September menu will give you many new choices. Thank you so much for your continued support.

**Kinetic Sculpture --- WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT???...well it's a sculpture and it moves! You have to either push it, pull it or pedal it!!! Pretty simple really but there is going to be a parade for Kinetic Sculptures right here in Pittsboro on Saturday, October 31st so if you want to make one, ya better get started.

How do you make a kinetic sculpture you ask? Well, Bud Rudesill a retired engineer and artist, hangs out here at Our Neighborhood School every day between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. and will continue to do so at least until the parade. Your child can stop by anytime, during those hours, FREE of charge, and Bud will help him make a sculpture. Once school starts kids can even stop here and work on their sculpture after school. Bud has already collected tons of bicycle parts, roller blade parts and skateboard parts and has set himself up a workshop in the side yard of Our Neighborhood School. Dias Auto Sales and Ed's Autobody have generously donated their welding skills whenever those are needed for a sculpture, so get your Boyscout group together, your Girlscout group gathered up, your Kiwanis Club members moving or any other group or individual and come on down. Dig out those old bicycle parts and grab some plywood that's lying around the garage. This is going to be a blast. If you want more information you can e-mail bud at budrudesill@aol.com or come on down to Our Neighborhood School and just start building.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon.
