Guinness World Record certificate for the Davidson group paddle ball record of Sept. 3, 2011.
Were you one of the 356 people who bounced paddle balls on the Davidson Green last September shooting for a world record? Pat yourself on the back. It’s now official: You are a Guinness World Record holder. Organizer Steve Langley of Hutnersville, who calls himself the Paddle Ball King, got the word Monday.
“It’s a relief,” Mr. Langley said Monday afternoon. “Although it was success by any measure of the fun … To get the official Guinness certificate is very satisfying. It was a pretty monumental effort and we had to jump through a lot of hoops.”

Guys, beer, and … a painting class? That was the special Sunday night at Sanctuary of Davidsonon Main Street, which hosted the first of a planned series of Guys’ Night Out events built around a painting class.
Eight adventuresome Davidson guys showed up to get in touch with their inner artists, or maybe the lure was the chance to hoist a few microbrews. Sanctuary owner Kristen Feighery modeled the event after the “Girls’ Night Out” art classes she has been hosting for the past couple of years. Read the full story

Every morning at the Davidson Montessori School on South Street, 3-, 4- and 5-year-old students spend a little time practicing letters, sounds and spelling. Teacher Andrea Cruz Solano encourages them, even the youngest, as they reach into a box and pull out wooden letters to spell out words like ham, pan, sad and fan.
The sounding and spelling are a precursor to writing, something the program emphasizes, Ms. Cruz Solano says.
