This summer was a busy time for everyone. Entering community parades has been a great opportunity to share PREP4Kids with neighborhoods. Parades in Oregon City, Sherwood, Gladstone, Tualatin and Banks were well attended. Children walked, rode bikes, wagons and in one parade a golf cart! Each one wore a PREP4Kids t-shirt, helping advertise the program to new families. The weather was great and the crowds were responsive. Children threw candy and the adults handed out fliers with PREP4Kids information (and in one parade PREP pens-NO LITTER!) In September Beaverton and Gresham will host parades also. We all enjoy sharing the opportunity for children to attend a Bible class during their school day, and parades are wonderfully 'kid-friendly' ways to do it!
