Onslow County Schools Teacher Workday Camps & More for March 16th 2020

Local St. Patrick's Day Activities Too!

By Lisa Hamilton, Publisher for Macaroni Kid Jacksonville March 10, 2020

UPDATE 3-15-20

Most if not all these activities have been canceled or rescheduled so PLEASE make sure to double-check with the venue (call, email, or Facebook Page) prior to going! I am doing my best to keep up with all the event changes and will share what I can on our Macaroni Kid Jakcosnville Facebook Page of any activities that are STILL happening or local businesses that are staying open during this time. 

Most local schools will be open today for a few hours for parents to be able to pick up any work packets for their child, medication from the nurse's office, or other items needed. Please contact your school first before making the trip to ensure someone will be there to assist you.

Feel free to contact me to share any local updates or news that other local Macaroni Kid members should be informed of. You can email me at LisaHamilton@MacaroniKid.com, tag Macaroni Kid Jacksonville on Facebook, or share on our Facebook Page.


Stay Safe and enjoy this time with your kids!
