Weekly Publisher Note ~ March 25th - April 1st

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni Kid Publisher March 24, 2021

Hello all,

We finally can say it is spring even though the weather this week sure has seemed colder than that. I know there is hope for sunnier, warmer weather so that is all that matters. With spring comes Passover and Easter. I have added a fun Easter Guide for you and your family.  While this year and last year are different than any other year we have faced, the passion and the sentiments are the same. Everyone wants to celebrate the start of spring and the fun of the Easter bunny. So check out this year's 🐤🐰 Easter Events and Activities Guide HERE!

After spring comes summer and it is now time to register the kids for upcoming summer camps. Due to the limited capacity of some camps you want to register as early as possible. Keep checking back as I continue to add camps to the ☀️Macaroni Kid Summer Camp Guide☀️ HERE.,With the crazy school year kids will enjoy learning new things and meeting new friends in a socially distanced environment. 

Lastly, for those of you who were interested to hear about the Women's Minnesota Whitecaps hockey team they are on their way to Boston for the end of the season that was cut short due to players getting Covid. The Isobel trophy is up for grabs. They play in Boston and you can watch the games for free if you are interested in doing so. Here is the link for those interested in watching. My daughter is #20 if you want to cheer her on.

Have a wonderful week.

have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.”

Calendar update for Macaroni Kid - White Bear Lake, Shoreview, Roseville
I have been adding virtual and in person local events to our calendar as in person events start to open back up. I struggle with the fact that we are a source for events but yet to be safe, large group events are unsafe for the Coronavirus-19 at this time. I will continue to add both virtual and in-perons events as they safely open back up but please know that it is solely up to you as a family obviously to make the decision on whether you feel safe for your family to attend. The changes we are experiencing at this time seems to evolve by the day. I am not the source to learn about those changes due to COVID-19 but I do want to say that I am doing my best to bring to you  events and activities that are occurring as we all navigate through the uncertainty of this world we live in at this time. With spring there is hope. Let's hope that we all move in a better direction.

I will be sharing resources on our Facebook Page too so be sure to check it out.
Love your family, take care of you. Stay healthy, warm and safe!
