From my travels...

Today is a coaching day for me at school.  On coaching days, I spend the day working with teachers and students...by far my favorite day of the week!  On my travels, I saw this great bulletin board outside the art room.  It said, "Art is..."  Some ideas of note...

Art is expressive, creative, relaxing!

Art is messy!

Art is creative!  (This was very popular)

Art is a beautiful array of lines, shapes, dots, and colors!

Art is stress free!

Art is a thing where there are no mistakes!

I would say that they "get it!"

Bike Safety!

Thanks to the DPW, MPD, SRTS, MFD, B&P Committee, Seaside Cycles, and especially John Carlson, for pulling together a great bike and pedestrian safety day!  It was great to see  all of the town departments pulling together to make it happen.  The kids had a blast and learned some really great lessons!  I am looking forward to the SRTS construction project and crossing guards (fingers crossed) to make our local area a little more bike/walk friendly.  If you know of any retirees who would be willing to serve as a crossing guard, please contact John Carlson or myself directly.

Again, a big success and THANKS to all who pitched in!

Bike Rodeo...FYI

From the Manchester Bike/Pedestrian Committee:

There will crossing guards at the following intersections to assist your child to bike/walk to school on September 4th, the day of the Bike Rodeo/Skills Course and helmet/bicycle safety check (please see below).  The crossing guards will be at the intersections from 7:45 am to 8:30 am. They will not be there in the afternoon.
