The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.

Join the staff of the Pine Bush Library in celebrating International Friendship Day!

Five-day meal boxes will be available for pick-up through the Pine Bush Central School District School Nutrition Department in August for all children age 18 and under. The dates for pick-up are Wednesdays, Aug. 7, 14 and 21, from 4 to 6 p.m. at PBHS.

Meal boxes will include a variety of fresh seasonal produce, bread, cereal and cereal bars, milk, peanut butter or eggs, and cheese.

In order to sign up for the boxes, submit the Google form linked below by the Friday before each pick-up date to ensure availability. Availability without signing up in advance is not guaranteed.

When picking up meals, come to Pine Bush High School and park in the rear of the building, on the district office side. Follow the signs for pick-up. Adults may only pick up meals for children in their own household. This is a great opportunity to help Pine Bush families cut back on their grocery/snack costs for much of the month of August.

Today is the official start of the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.

The history of the Games goes back around 3,000 years, to the Peloponnese in Ancient Greece. Sports contests organised at Olympia took place every four years and acquired the name Olympic Games.

We do not know exactly when they started, but the date of 776 BC is often cited in written sources. The exact reasons for the birth of the Games are still unknown, as history has become mixed up with mythology.

The four-year interval between the Ancient Games editions was named an “Olympiad”, and was used for dating purposes at the time: time was counted in Olympiads rather than years.

In 1894, Pierre de Coubertin launched his plan to revive the Olympic Games, and in 1896 the first Games of the modern era were held in Athens.
