MCDC Parents:

The water to our building will be turned off today at 3:00pm.  There is another water leak and the water will be turned off for repairs.  We have no timeline on these repairs this time, so we will be closing the center at 4:30pm.  Conditions here will quickly deteriorate after the water is shut off.  We do not want the children or staff to remain in unsanitary conditions.

At this time, we do not know the timeline for repairs.  If it looks like the water outage will not be corrected by the time the center opens in the morning, we will send an email out and post to our Facebook page.

Please let me know if you have any questions!   So sorry for the inconvenience!

We are excited to announce MCDC is challenging you in wellness. If you're like most of us, busy days and countless kids activities at night leave us asking "What's for Dinner?". It leads to fast food or Hamburger Helper boxes. We have a solution! We have discovered Wildtree! It is the perfect way to have meals ready to make fast, while insuring you are providing nutrition to your family without preservatives, MSG, GMO's or artificial food dyes. Wildtree was founded on the premise that food should be safe, natural, and easy to prepare - all at the same time.

Join us August 31 to make 10 (20 if you choose to split the meals in half) freezer meals to take home after work. The link below is the registration link and includes the cost breakdown and options. Should a member of your family have food allergies, they can cater to that as well. Just email the Wildtree representative at janetagee0212@gmail.com

Please register and pay your invoice by August 23 to ensure your bundle of products. You will receive an email from Wildtree with the invoice shortly after registering. Click the link below to register!

After payment, You will then receive another email from Wildtree with instructions for what to bring on Aug 31. If you prefer to purchase the bundle and make your meals at home, that is fine too. (there is also an option to have it delivered to your address instead of picking up the box here) 

Please join us in this wellness endeavor for MCDC!!!

We have a couple of new events to add to your calendar!

August 31st- We will be having a Wildtree Night!  If you haven’t heard of Wildtree, you are in for a treat! 

Wildtree was founded on the premise that food should be safe, natural, and easy to prepare - all at the same time.

Instead of using MSG, GMOs, or artificial food dyes, Wildtree products are made from the finest natural and organic ingredients available. Instead of “good for you” foods with all the flavor of sawdust, Wildtree products are taste-tested winners. Instead of lengthy, complicated, time-consuming recipes, Wildtree products enable you to create spectacular, great-tasting dishes with just three or four ingredients.

We maintain a peanut-free facility and thoroughly test our products for safety, nutrition, taste, and ease. We look for a “thumbs-up” from our Product Testing Committee, and are committed to product excellence. If it’s not right, we do it again.

Today, our vision of helping people live healthier lives continues to strengthen! We are excited to offer you and your family our ever-growing line of the finest organic, GMO free, and all-natural products in the marketplace.

You will have the opportunity to make 10-20 meals (depending on your family size) on the 31st.  You will be able to prepare these here at the center anytime between 3:45pm-6:45pm.  You may do it before you pick up your children, or after.  More details about the meals and how to sign up will be coming this week!

September 27th-29th: Usborne Book Fair: We are excited to have Usborne returning for three days next month!  You will not only have the opportunity to purchase wonderful, high quality books for the children in your lives, it will also benefit MCDC with free books for our library and classrooms!

 

*Note: Although I am an Educational Consultant with Usborne Books and More, the book fairs held at MCDC are always conducted by another consultant.  I have not in the past, nor will in the future benefit financially from the book fairs held at MCDC.

October 17th: Pinot’s Palette Benefit for MCDC: Join us for a fun night of painting that will benefit MCDC!

MCDC Families,

This Saturday from 10:00am-3:00pm is NASA Day in the Park!  This is such a fun event, and MCDC gets to help kick it off with a parade!  We would love to have you join us on Saturday morning on the East side of Big Spring Park.  Last year we met beside the Huntsville Utilities building.  We will have a big banner, so we should be easy to find.  We do not have a definite time yet, but it will probably be around 10:30am.  Invite your family and friends! We will have drinks and snacks at our booth/table at the conclusion of the parade.  Hope to see you on Saturday!!
