Hey Block,
Our June Block Party is happening today in what looks like it will be PERFECT weather!
By now I expect you all have seen the fantastic schedule that Caitlyn (421) has put together—if not, take a gander at the attachment on this email (please note that wine tasting is from 4-5pm).
We might not have Jalen Brunson or OG Anunoby, but we've got a New York-themed playlist, a bouncy house, egg toss, popcorn, and MORE.
As always, we are rallying the block to come out, enjoy, and participate. Whether it’s arts and crafts, karaoke song requests, or music performances—we welcome it all. Come out and use our perfect weather day block party to showcase your special talent or interest!
Congratulations to our 2026 Graduates!!!!:
- Marcus and Viola (384): 5th Grade
- Owen (443): 5th Grade
- Solomon (431): High School
- Pheobe (442): High School
- Lucy (433) : High School
Please let me know of any grads I missed or any block newcomers I can introduce.
LOGISTICS & SAFETY
SAFETY
We will BLOCK BOTH ENDS OF THE STREET (large barriers by 5th Ave). While we block off earlier than the permit allows, please watch for "rogue" cars, scooters, or motorbikes that may linger or try to enter. Please help monitor and rebuff any vehicles.
