Butterfly Parade Coming October 1, 2011
It’s that time of year again, where the children of Pacific Grove Celebrate the Fall and Return of the Monarchs to Pacific Grove. The Annual Butterfly Parade and Bazaar is coming, and we want you to come out and join the fun. The Children of Robert Down and Forest Grove Elementary Schools will be marching in the parade dressed as Otters, Flowers, Bees, Bugs, and of course Butterflies and other assorted creatures and things from Nature. The Parade will start and end in front of the Robert H. Down School. Once the Parade is over Families will enjoy themselves at the Annual Butterfly Bazaar, this is a major source of the monies for the PTA’s and an unforgettable event for the schools and their families. Come out, in your best Monarch Wings, buy a T-Shirt, play some games, eat some great food and see what the bakers from the schools have come up with this year for the bake sale.
Welcome to Robert H. Down School, or for returning families, Welcome Back! Robert H. Down PTA invites you to join us in making a difference in the education and quality of life for our children. We realize how important your children are to you and that you want the best for them, your PTA wants to help achieve that. We all know children learn more and have better lives when parents, school staff, students and the community work together. Your PTA works to bring these groups together to share thoughts and ideas about programs and activities that benefit the children of Robert H. Down School.
