“Put loose pieces in a Ziploc bag inside the box so nothing gets lost in transit.”
The Jigsaw Puzzle Swap is a community gathering where neighbors trade their gently used puzzles with one another. Participants can bring any size or style of puzzle to exchange directly for a new-to-them box, making it an easy way to clear out your shelves. To participate, bring complete puzzles in their original boxes, and please label any boxes that are missing a piece so the next owner knows what to expect. This gathering is open to all ages, meaning you can find everything from simple wooden toddler puzzles to complex thousand-piece designs for teenagers and adults. This event makes for a highly practical Sunday afternoon outing because it costs nothing to participate and instantly refreshes your indoor activity stash for the upcoming weeks.

Nothing but the kids — this one's free, with no tickets to buy.
Last year's free and reduced-price meal benefits do not roll over — they expire on a date set by your child's WCPSS calendar, and traditional-calendar families have until October 6, 2026. A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
