Parsippany Lacrosse Day was celebrated on Saturday, May 9

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Lacrossee Club held “Parsippany Lacrosse Day” on Saturday, May 9 at Jannarone Park.

On Thursday, April 30,  the Parsippany-Troy Hills School budget was passed.  This means that the youth of Parsippany will have Lacrosse at both High Schools starting in the Spring of 2016!

This great news means that our children have a spring sport option that they can pursue up to, and possibly through college.  This program was started with the intention of teaching this great sport to our youth and showing them how it applies to life.  In 3 short years eveyone helped get this program going and now it’s being taken to the next level.

Lacrosse is a great metaphor for life.  We all “drop the ball” every once and a while, and when we drop it, every effort is made to pick it back up.  Once we have it in our possession again, we look to achieve our goal.  We know that doing it alone can be difficult, if not impossible, so we look to others for “help”.  In our family, when we see someone struggling to achieve their goal we let them know “ I got your back”, and “here’s your help”.  The pace of life is fast, and planning is important but often spontaneous creative thinking on the fly gets us to our goal faster.  “Dodging” the obstacles in life is often the most efficient way to get there.

Our program is going to grow with the news of Lacrosse at Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School.

Stickley Museum Family Fun Day attended by children of all ages

PARSIPPANY — The Stickley Museum held its third annual Family Fun & Games program on Saturday, May 9. The day’s activities were built around the theme “My Home.” Children of all ages attended to explore and learn about homes of all kinds, including the Stickley family’s home, the Log House at Craftsman Farms.

Birds are good architects – they choose soft natural materials when building nests for their eggs. The visitors took a bag and gathered nesting materials to take home to the birds in their yard – some moss or twine a colorful piece of ribbon, cotton. Birds will use them to build their nests.

Children visited the Education Room for a chance to get up close and personal with live animals from Animal Experiences, an outreach program developed by the Happy Tales Animal Sanctuary. Children had the opportunity to pet and ask questions about the animals and their homes in nature in a fun and safe environment.

To top off the day, Story Time was in the Log House, brought to you by the Parsippany-Troy Hills Public Library.

While focused on family fun, this program also encouraged children to consider concepts that Gustav Stickley held dear, like the value of nature and the meaning of home. Family Fun Day included scavenger hunts, both indoors and out, that encouraged a fun exploration of the Log House and its beautiful natural environment, craft activities, and games. To end the day, visitors had snow cones from Kona Ice!

Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex) was relatively unknown and didn’t run a very good…
