The public can attend to a Preview Night Party at the new Christiana Mall Barnes & Noble on Tuesday, November 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. A portion of the Preview Night sales will benefit the Christina School District. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. with Newark Mayor Vance Funk; Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council will conduct the flag ceremony. Students from throughout the Christina District will participate in musical performances, art displays, poetry readings and magic demonstrations. On Sunday, November 22, at 11 a.m., Judy Schachner, author of the Skippyjon Jones series of children’s books, will host a special story time.
