A PLACE FOR PLAY(S) — The Manitou School in Philipstown held a ribbon-cutting on May 11 for its new multipurpose space, designed to resemble a barn. It will be used primarily as a gym and theater space for the school’s 120 students, as well as for community after-school programs and a nature-based summer camp. The school completed an expansion last summer to add an elementary school classroom and middle-school science lab. (Photo by Jade Doskow)
