NewFriends Story Time

August 30, 2025

Back-to-school Recovery Morning!

Sunday, September 7th • 10:00 - 11:30 AM • Picture Book @ HudCo

Think of it as your week-one victory lap.

Parents will enjoy a relaxing morning of conversation, recuperation and Boxing Day Café coffee while the NewFriends sitters supervise the kids (in a separate room! with closed doors!) for storytime with local author and Tarrytown Mom, Lauren Glattly reading from her new picture book Proper Badger Would Never Trash the Classroom!
