About the Movie: “McFarland, USA” (Rated PG)
Track coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) is a newcomer to a predominantly Latino high-school in California’s Central Valley. Coach White and his new students find that they have much to learn about one another, but things begin to change when White realizes the boys’ exceptional running ability. More than just physical prowess drives the teens to succeed; their strong family ties, incredible work ethic and commitment to their team all play a factor in forging these novice runners into champions.

Celebrate Family & Community Day this August at Morris-Jumel Mansion by crafting your own French-inspired hand fan! The mansion’s ties to French culture date back to its former resident Eliza Jumel, who brought European influence to the estate. In the 18th and 19th centuries, hand fans were not only fashionable but also used a “language” of gestures to convey secret messages. Don’t miss this chance to stay cool! Materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
