Huntsville-Madison Parade of Schools March 2, 2009!

pur510c6cd4f023d3c1.jpg Many parents often choose a private educational facility over the local public school system for a variety of reasons and just as often it is difficult to decide which school is the right one for your family and your circumstance.

This is especially the case when special needs are involved as was the situation within my own family. So I was very-very excited when the over 20 members of the Huntsville-Madison Private School Organization announced their first, and hopefully annual, Parade of Schools event.

On Sunday afternoon, March 2, 2009 from 1 to 4 p.m the tour is on! It will include both church-affiliated and secular schools for children entering preschool through high school graduation.

The best part of this tour is that all member schools will be open for prospective parents to tour, ask questions, and get an inside view of Huntsville area private schools. This will certainly be a convenient way for parents to examine up-close and personal several schools on the same day and hopefully answer many of those nagging questions.

A comprehensive map of all member school locations is available and each member school also has a link to its own website so prospective parents can survey the landscape, prepare their route, and plan their upcoming tour.

What a great community event, and hopefully all who desire to attend will be able to do so. And is this not a great example of what perhaps the Huntsville-Madison Public School System could do, during their summer recesses, to assist the many families involved in the BRAC relocation effort?

Elizabeth, it's good to hear your community is striving to work together for the good of your children! I really support the "theory" of no child left behind. It's a shame they couldn't get that one together. I wish you the best~Later in the rain~Deb

The RIGHT CHARLOTTE REALTOR!

Hi Sis!  You know, as much as you've been through with your own children and schools, you really SHOULD be the 'Golden School Realtor'!  You most definitely have a major advantage over all other agents with your personal experience.  Great event too--being able to actually see them face to face rather than in an exhibit hall means so much more to parents, that's for sure!

Hi Elizabeth, That sounds like a great program. I am for more charter schools. Our educational programs in public schools seem to be so tied to elements ( leaving out the obvious words here) that have noting beneficial for kids growing up today and I for one love to see the growth and the choices that parents now have that are concerned with our public education system. This tour sounds a real asset for parents to see and make informed choices. Great post!

Hey Elizabeth - This sounds like a great idea.  As a parent whose children are about to start kindergarten, I know how tough it can be to make this decision.
