Livingston Manor Library began hosting a monthly Sensory Play Series for children and their families in February. The Sensory Play Series targets neurodiverse children ages 3-10 and their families and seeks to provide children with an experience that is flexible and responsive to their natural play style. It is inclusive of the whole family, offering caregivers tools and games they can play at home to further connect with their child. Each month will model sensory play, focusing on a different sense i.e. sight, sound, touch, smell, taste and movement/balance led by artist and producer Jess Kaufman. The third program, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 4, will focus on touch. There will be musical accompaniment by Joe Bergstein. Those who wish to attend are asked to sign up at the library by calling 845-439-5440, emailing livingstonmanorlibrary@rcls.org or visiting livingstonmanorlibrary.org/programsignup.

On April 12, LMCS hosted its inaugural Retiree Breakfast in the school cafeteria. LMCS welcomed back almost 40 former staff members, in what will be an annual gathering hosted by the school each spring. While some former staff members were coming off their first year of retirement, others have been retired for upwards of 30 years. Those in attendance were served a buffet-style breakfast prepared by Cafeteria Manager Mr. Stephen Rogers and his staff. The middle/high school band, directed by Mr. Daniel Smith, prepared a musical selection for the retirees to enjoy as well.
