"Mae Among the Stars" Story Walk
February 8th- 28th
Dawn-Dusk
Peirson Woods, 657 Point Rd
We are excited to collaborate with TriTown Against Racism for the Fourth Annual Black History Month Story Walk™.
This year, we are featuring, "Mae Among the Stars," by Roda Ahmed (Author), Stasia Burrington (Illustrator). A beautiful picture book inspired by the life of the first African American woman to travel in space, Mae Jemison.
Mae Among the Stars is the perfect book for young readers who have big dreams and even bigger hearts. This book will inspire young children to reach for the stars, to aspire for the impossible, and to persist with childlike imagination.
Notice: To avoid damage to our storyboards in the recent storms, we have delayed the story walk for about a week.
"Love Birds" Walk!

Silvershell Beach
Calling all lovebirds and bird lovers looking for a fun outing!
We'll join members of the Nasketucket Bird Club for this program. Bring binoculars and dress warmly for a tour of Marion's quiet waters. We will car pool to a few hot spots for bird views.
Winter is the best time to see many of our northern duck and waterbird species floating around Marion's harbors before their migrations to the north and Arctic.
Please register so we may anticipate how many will participate and to stay informed of any weather related issues.
