JOIN US FOR MINERS DAY!

From the Spark Discovery Preschool Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO):

Come participate in the Miners Day Parade with us on Saturday, September 16, 2023, at 9:30 am with your child(ren) and family! This community event, sponsored by the Town of Frederick, is a terrific tradition we participate in annually, and it is a great way for us to pull together to show school and community spirit! All Spark! families are invited to join us on a parade route the morning of the parade. The parade route starts at Aspen Drive and Tipple Parkway. Park as close to Aspen Dr and Tipple Pkwy as allowable around 9:30 am, and then locate the Spark! Discovery Preschool team at the parade staging area. The parade will start promptly at 10:00 am, and then head west on Tipple Parkway, then turn south on Oak Street to Fifth Street. Then the parade will turn east on Fifth Street to Locust Street. Finally, the parade will turn south on Locust Street and end at Centennial Park (630 Eighth Street), to the south of our school.
Our school theme this year is “We Grow Together” so the kids should be dressed in a garden theme wearing butterfly, flower, and bee, etc. shirts/costumes/headbands, etc.
After and before the parade there is a day-long Miners Day festival just to the south of our school at Centennial Park. Here are some important links with more general information regarding the events going on that day: Town of Frederick’s information page about Miners Day 2023 (includes a day-long schedule and parade route). It is important to note that all children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult family member / guardian for the whole time they are participating in the parade. We will be walking the parade route, which may become long for younger children, depending on the child. If families want to bring a wagon / stroller to pull or push children along the parade route, that would be great too. As a reminder, animals are not allowed to tag-along with our group. For each participating family, we will must have a family waiver signed (a copy will be coming home in the Thursday folder on Sept 14). Please bring this waiver with you to the parade.
Join us for an awesome experience for our preschoolers and spend some time together outside of school. We appreciate your support and look forward to Miner’s Day 2023! Questions? Email us at [email protected]
With respect — Your Spark! Discovery PTO
