Bloomfield Heritage Days was Fun and Festive

Bloomfield, Missouri - Despite early rain Thursday and Friday, the Bloomfield Heritage Days sponsored by the Bloomfield Chamber and Bloomfield Lion's Club continued on over the weekend.  Saturday began on the chilly side, but by afternoon the temperatures warmed up and the people came out in support of a small community endeavor. The festival was fun, entertaining and educational.

Jimmy's Kettle Corn and the Joyful Noise Brats/Hotdog stands were the bomb!  Each child that participated in the annual Easter Egg Hunt received free kettle corn and a soda.  The Easter Bunny made his rounds for photos and passed out some very nice prizes to the youngsters.

Joyful Noise also played their beautiful country and gospel music throughout the day.

K9 Bix and Ozark Federal Credit Union sponsored a Dog Show to raise money for the Dexter Dog Park. Several dogs participated.

Margo the Goldie won First Place in tricks and was the Zoey's Choice for personality.

Photos and videos can be seen in albums on the ShowMe Times Facebook page!

If you would like to know more about Parents as Teachers contact Courtney McGarity or Casey Arnold at 573-293-5335, ext 293 or find them on Facebook.

The following information was taken directly from the Parent as Teachers Missouri website.  For more information click HERE.

Our Vision

All children will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential.

Our Mission

To provide the information, support and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life.

Our Values

The early years of a child's life are critical for optimal development and provide the foundation for success in school and in life.

Parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.

Established and emerging research should be the foundation of parent education and family support curricula, training, materials and services.

All young children and their families deserve the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of any demographic, geographic or economic considerations.

An understanding and appreciation of the history and traditions of diverse cultures is essential in serving families.

History

In 1981, Missouri pioneered the concept of helping parents embrace their important role as their child's first and best teacher. Today, Parents as Teachers continues to equip early childhood organizations and professionals with information and tools that are relevantᾢand widely applicableᾢto today's parents, families and children.

The Parents as Teachers leadership team and Board of Directors is engaged in a three-year strategic plan, which positions the organization as a valued partner to support the organizations and professionals who serve families and children, especially those most vulnerable.

The concept for Parents as Teachers was developed in the 1970s when Missouri educators noted that children were beginning kindergarten with varying levels of school readiness. Research showed that greater parent involvement is a critical link in the child's development of learning skills, including reading and writing.

Early childhood professionals suggested that a program to provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues, and parent education to help parents understand their role in encouraging their child's development from the beginning could help improve school readiness and parent involvement.

With funding from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and The Danforth Foundation, Parents as Teachers began in 1981 in Missouri as a pilot project for first-time parents of newborns. Recognizing the program's benefits and cost effectiveness, the Missouri legislature provided state funding in 1985 to implement Parents as Teachers programs in all Missouri school districts. Since 1985, Parents as Teachers has expanded to all 50 states and six other countries.
