Vehicle Day Round-Up!

Vehicle Day was a huge success! A special thanks goes out to the Matawan Police Department, the Matawan Fire Department, the Matawan Department of Public Works, the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office and the Aberdeen Police Department. Over 150 kids, teens and adults explored vehicles that were parked on Park Avenue. Ms. Linda held vehicle storytimes on the hour and gave out special construction hats for children to wear that read "Readers at work!" If you missed Vehicle Day, check out the pictures below!

    Events like this will educate kids, and even adults, about the purpose of the vehicles that roam around their neighborhood. I believe it's a rare chance to sit inside those vehicles while they're having a day off from their respective jobs. Hehe! Anyway, bet you wanted to try to be the driver of the street sweeper even for that day only. :)
