Celebrate Nurses, Gear up for the Weekend and Watch the Lizard of Odd

Thank A Nurse Today

Today marks National Nurses Day, which is also the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. So, take the time today to thank a nurse you know—perhaps the one that takes care of your kids at school when you can’t be there.

Play Mah Jong

The sun is out, but the tea is still brewing at Lola’s where you can curl up with a mug and relax with a game of Mah Jong from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Get Your Weekend Guide

The weekend is almost here, and we want you to take advantage of every free minute. So, make sure to check back in at 11 a.m. when we post not one, but nine kid friendly activities—from picnics to live music.

Watch the Kids Helping Kids Perform

Kids Helping Kids—the Pelham Guidance Council’s group of high school thespians—performed “The Lizard of Odd,” a play about dealing with bullies and accepting yourself on Wednesday night. We went to the PGC’s annual board meeting, taped the show and will have a video story up for you to watch at 5 p.m. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it.

Check out the Living History Global Summit

PMS’ eighth graders participate in the Living History Global Summit Simulation today and Friday. If you’re checking it out, make sure you head to the correct location.
