Our annual Fourth of July parade will take place on Wednesday July 1st at 9:30am.  We will begin lining up the classes at 9:00am, so the front parking lot will need to be cleared by 9:00am.  Each classroom does participate in the parade and everyone is welcome!  Friends, family and co-workers!  Come out and walk with us, or stand on the sidelines and cheer us on!!

Reminders for this week:

  • Thursday is our Father’s Day Store for the Explorers and Preschool classes.  Gifts are $2.00 each.  There is an envelope in your child’s classroom for you to write your child’s name on and whom they will be buying for.  Place cash or check in that envelope.  We can process any change on the day of the store and will return it to your child’s folder or cubby.
  • Friday morning is our Donuts for Dad!  From 6:45am-8:45am, we will have donuts in the front lobby of our Dads to enjoy!  Stop by and treat yourself!
  • Saturday is NASA Day on the Square!!  I am so excited that MCDC will be participating this year!  The event is from 10am-2pm around the square in downtown Huntsville.  MCDC will have a table on Education Alley on the Northside Square.  We will have face painting, cooling necklaces, chalk and bubbles, and games!

We will also be participating in a parade around the square ending with a few songs from our preschoolers on the stage.  We would love for everyone to join us!!  We will be lining up at 10:30am on Madison Street near Cotton Row.  We will be walking up Westside Square, turning right on Northside Square, right on Eastside Square ending at the stage.  We will ask our preschoolers to gather on the stage for a few songs.  Maps of the event are available on the parent table.  We will also have a sign-up sheet for the parade on the parent table.  Please let us know if you will be able to participate in the parade by either signing up on the parent table or emailing me.  We would like to get a count for the coordinators by Friday.  Please feel free to bring wagons, strollers, etc…. and decorate those items patriotically.  We will lead off the parade with a banner that the children colored!

I am looking forward to a fun week!!  Please let me know if you have any questions about the events this week.
