Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras to take free photos with Clifford and Geronimo. Children, teens and adults can browse a fun assortment of affordable books and gifts from Scholastic. All purchases benefit Good Shepherd Preschool, a ministry of Good Shepherd Church.

Guests will also have the opportunity to tour the school, meet the staff, and learn about its unique hands-on, faith-based curriculum.

During the event, parents will be able to reserve their child’s place at Good Shepherd Preschool, which was voted Romeoville’s best by readers of the Romeoville Patch.
