AUBURN Just 30 minutes before closing time at 3 p.m. Tuesday, students taped up a sign on their lemonade stand that said “sold out.”
The children in the Family Development neighborhood on Valerie Circle were participating in a math lesson under the watchful eyes of four educators from Auburn Public Schools.
Kim Bianco, Alice Crawford, Nurta Hade and Melissa Sundell have been working with students on Tuesdays and Thursdays through the month of July on reading and math skills. Anywhere from five to 25 kids will show up to the neighborhood’s recreation center on any particular day, said Sundell of Park Avenue Elementary School.

POLAND Selectpersons held a public hearing Tuesday on a Community Development Block Grant for an Auburn Housing Authority project.
The grant is approximately $250,000 that would go to Auburn Housing, which is building the project in Poland for people 55 and older.
“That is a good news story,” Garside said. “They are getting funds that will allow them to pay for engineering on some housing that they are going to build down at the Route 26/122 intersection. (Auburn Housing) bought property in Poland and they want to build some housing units there … The municipality has to be part of the grant process. We are just there in name only. Auburn Housing is doing all the work.”
