Note from Your Publisher (05.25.23)

By Mary Anne Plauda, Publisher Macaroni Kid Naperville March 4, 2021

This week we have an article about British Swim School in Naperville and water safety. Then we have an article about Centennial Beach opening, the upcoming Cavalcade of Planes, and June events. Don't forget this Monday we have the Memorial Day Parade in downtown Naperville. Hope everyone has a great 3-day weekend and can spend it with loved ones and friends!

Also, the 2023 Summer Camp Guide is here! We have some wonderful camps and sponsors this year. A big thanks go out to American Martial Arts Academy-Summer Camp,  Arrow Accelerated Academy Summer Quest Camps, Bach To Rock, Camp Naper, DuPage Children's Museum Tinkering Camp, Emergent Learning Center Mindfulness Camp, Just For KIDS Camp, Kidinary Cooking Academy Kids Cooking Camp, Naperville Park District Summer Camps, North Central College Summer Camps, and Little Brushes by Pinot’s Palette Summer Camp. And new this year, we have Vacation Bibles schools included. They are Knox Stellar Vacation Bible School (VBS), Aurora/El Camino VBS: Twists and Turns-Village Bible Church (VBS), and Word of Life Hero Hotline (VBS). Be sure to register early!     

Also, we are now offering a monthly calendar for you to print. It will include major holidays/events that are happening in the current month around Naperville. We hope you will enjoy this new feature!

Please note that I have placed a laptop icon before events that are virtual on the calendar. No laptop icon then the event is live. And yes, we do have a few now! We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated park district here in Naperville! 

Here at Mac Kid we are dedicated to providing you with informational articles to help you through this time. Always remember, with all events, to call before going to verify the event is still on. Keep positive and stay safe! 

Our monthly calendar is the highlight of the newsletter. Please check the events section and calendar often.  Also, if you have not liked the Facebook page yet, please do so now. This is where you will find a lot of weekly updates and information about giveaways.
If you know of an event that should be on the calendar, please complete the form in the "Submit an Event" section on the website.





Love, Peace, and Macaroni
