Title: 4th of July Parade/Community Day Form
Post by: mkr on June 07, 2016, 11:43:16 AM
Form link below. Please reach out if you have any questions.  ~Mary Kay & Colin

This year’s theme is “This Land is our Land.” We as Americans access our Nation’s landscape in
many ways. From responsible development, to preservation of specific ecosystems, there are
countless ways to show our appreciation of our Nation’s natural beauty. Participation in the
theme is encouraged, but not required to be in the parade.

Thank you, mkr! 

This year the PTSA raised enough money to send each child home with a book at the end of the school year, and boxes and boxes to pass out to Fairfax kiddos along the parade route!  A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who participated in PTSA sponsored activities this year!! 

The PTSA is in need of helpers, preferably with wagons, to pass out books along the parade route.  We had a crew last year and it was a lot of fun!  If you'd like to march with the PTSA holding the banner (need 3 people) or pulling a wagon with your kiddo handing out books, please email me rosa.katie@gmail.com. 

Participation in the theme, as mkr stated, encouraged, but not required.
Thank you!!
