Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope you are having a wonderful week and everyone had a great 4th of July. It feels each year goes by faster. It's almost time to start back to school prep. We wanted to remind you that a lot of school districts are sending out registration information for fall, be sure to get those forms filled out so your child can get their schedule.
Check out our 2024 Vacation Bible School Guide and our Summer Movie Guide. A big thank you to our helpers at Macaroni KID NRV. Our longtime helper Dikshita Bansal who has helped with our reporting until recently. She will soon take over helping Macaroni KID NRV grow. Our newest assistant Rebekah Obenchain has helped get our events calendar updated (please be patient as she is learning).
Have a wonderful week and thank you for being loyal subscribers & sponsors.
