Balloon Handlers Needed for Thanksgiving Parade

A long tradition returns to MICDS this year! Students (grade 6 and older), faculty, staff and parents are invited to join Nancy Richardson, Jan Jacobi and Sujata Biswas downtown at 7:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning to help carry a giant balloon in the Ameren Missouri Thanksgiving Day Parade. A sign-up sheet is posted on the Community Service bulletin board in the Upper School, and on the bulletin board outside the Middle School Office. Parents who wish to volunteer may contact Nancy Richardson, nrichardson@micds.org.

A large balloon has been reserved for MICDS that must be carried by at least 20-25 volunteers. Please be sure you have no other plans that morning before you commit to joining us! More information is available online at: http://www.christmasinstlouis.org/home.

The deadline to sign up is Friday, November 11.
